Kevin M.Young

With nearly 15 years of litigation experience, Kevin has represented employers in single-plaintiff cases, high-stakes collective and class actions, and government investigations. His track record includes securing denials of collective and class certification, dismissals and summary judgments, and victories at both trial and appellate levels in bet-the-company cases and on issues of first impression.

Kevin’s litigation background informs his strategic approach to advising employers, helping them anticipate and mitigate risks before they escalate. Whether crafting policies and training programs, designing compliance strategies, or responding to real-time employment issues, Kevin works with businesses to tackle workplace challenges head-on.

Kevin also serves as Co-Chair of Seyfarth’s Atlanta Labor & Employment team. In addition to leadership, Kevin’s calling card within the firm centers around innovation and collaboration. For example, Kevin has served as a member of Seyfarth’s AI Task Force and, in 2024, helped to spearhead the development of the firm’s inaugural innovation fair, a platform for colleagues across the firm to brainstorm, showcase, and implement creative ideas that drive efficiency and value for clients.

Outside the firm, Kevin routinely speaks on matters relating to wage and hour law, changes in the practice of law, and innovation. He has taught a course titled “Innovation in the Practice of Law” for multiple semesters as an adjunct professor at the University of Georgia School of Law.  

Before going to law school, Kevin earned his undergraduate degree in accounting and interned three summers at a Big Four tax firm. He also spent the first year of his career working as a tax attorney. This unique background equips Kevin with a sharp analytical perspective and an expanded toolbelt for tackling intricate problems. Kevin is as comfortable diving into a complex exposure analysis as he is walking into a client site to train front-line managers on employment best practices.   

Outside of work, Kevin and his wife, Lindsay, keep busy with their two young boys and their 12-year-old puppy. When he’s not cheering his boys on from the baseball stands, squeezing in a Peloton ride, or listening to one of his 75 favorite podcasts, Kevin hits the ice with his rec league hockey team, the Crustaceans—proud champions of the 2015 season (and playoff hopefuls ever since).
