New York commercial litigator Stephen Younger announced Thursday that he is joining international law firm Withers, marking his third firm switch in as many years. Younger, who has previously served as president of the New York State Bar Association, described this move as his final one before retirement. “It took me some time to find the right platform. I think Withers is the firm where I’ll be finishing my career,” said Younger, 68.
Younger left his long-term partner position at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler in 2021 to join Boston-based firm Foley Hoag. Two years later, in 2023, he moved to Nixon Peabody in New York, attributing the switch to his growing business portfolio. Details of his latest transition can be found here.
