Experience

History of the Firm

John Scott and Andrew Yung, both formerly of Susman Godfrey LLP, formed Scott Yung LLP in 2001 to deliver exceptional client service and outstanding results. Both Scott and Yung are skilled trial lawyers with an appreciation for their client’s need for a positive result in both a timely and cost-efficient manner.

Collectively, the attorneys have tried over 100 cases to verdict and have represented clients in dozens of arbitrations. The firm represents large corporations, start-up companies, individuals and non-profits in their disputes – and the firm does so both on an hourly and a contingent fee basis.

Our larger clients have in-house legal departments. To see how we work with legal departments click here.

Andrew Yung has represented clients in almost every type of intellectual property lawsuit – trade secret, patent, copyright, trademark, trade dress, licensing, non-competes and others. Yung also has experience in contract disputes, employment litigation, class actions, investor disputes, insurance receiverships, accounting malpractice litigation and other complex commercial lawsuits.

John Scott is a trial lawyer. Scott has first chaired over 100 trials. Several of these jury verdicts have been historic – either in monetary terms or because they arose in novel areas of law. In August 2001, The National Law Journal called one of Scott’s trial victories “the Defense Win of the Month” in the United States. In January 2002, the National Law Journal called the victory the Defense Win of the Year for Health Care.

John Scott has been recognized by national and local media for his knowledge of complex or emerging areas of law. Some of the national media that have called upon Scott for commentary include CNN’s Burden of Proof, The New York Times, National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, ABC Evening News, NBC Nightly News and FOX’s The O’Reilly Factor.

Don’t take our word for it – ask our clients, co-counsel, and opponents. Our former clients and adversaries are our greatest source of referrals. If you are interested, Scott Yung LLP will provide contact information for its clients and inside counsel so you can hear first-hand about the quality of its lawyers, the results achieved, and the efforts expended. From the outset, the firm encourages frank discussions about the client's goals and the firm's talents and experience.
