Jason Swergold was recognized in August on Benchmark Litigation’s Under 40 List.

WHITE PLAINS, NY (October 2, 2024) – Yankwitt LLP, Westchester County’s go-to law firm for high-stakes and bet-the-company litigation, proudly announces that Managing Partner Russell Yankwitt and Executive Director and Partner Dina Hamerman have been named to Benchmark Litigation’s 2025 guide as a Litigation Star and a Future Star, respectively.

Partner Jason Swergold earned recognition on Benchmark Litigation’s list of top attorneys under 40 in August.

Yankwitt and Hamerman are returning honorees, celebrated for their exceptional work on some of New York’s highest-profile litigation cases across state and federal trial and appellate courts.
