Biography
Yonatan Even focuses his practice on antitrust matters (both regulatory and litigation), general commercial disputes and securities litigation, including cases that involve issues surrounding emerging technologies and artificial intelligence. He “has a[n] innovative approach to legal problem solving and is a master of the facts on any case.” (Chambers USA)
Mr. Even devotes a significant portion of his practice to pro bono service. He secured a major settlement for a prisoner in a Section 1983 civil rights lawsuit against several corrections officers and the Superintendent of a New York State correctional facility. In a separate matter, following the prisoner’s transfer to a federal facility, Mr. Even obtained a ruling that granted a motion for compassionate release. He previously led a Cravath trial team that obtained a favorable jury verdict and damages for a former inmate at Arthur Kill state prison in a pro bono sexual assault trial against four prison guards and the prison’s Superintendent.
Mr. Even has been repeatedly recognized as a leading lawyer by several publications, including by The Legal 500 US for his work in antitrust, appellate, general commercial disputes and M&A litigation. He has also consistently been recognized for his antitrust work by Chambers USA and The Best Lawyers in America, and for his broader litigation work by Benchmark Litigation. Lawdragon has included him on its lists of “500 Leading Lawyers in America,” “500 Leading Global Antitrust & Competition Lawyers” and “500 Leading Global Entertainment, Sports & Media Lawyers.”
