For the second year in a row, Spencer Fane attorney Tyler Scott was honored by Benchmark Litigation in the publication’s 2025 USA 40 & Under list, which identifies top emerging litigation talent across the U.S. based on a thorough vetting process following firm, peer, or client nominations. Benchmark Litigation’s rigorous analysis includes an assessment of recent casework, nominee and client interviews, and feedback gathered from peers within nominees’ jurisdictions or practice areas.
To be eligible, nominees must be partners at their law firms and demonstrate exceptional legal skills, a track record of successful courtroom outcomes, and a strong propensity for leadership. Tyler was one of 99 attorneys selected within the Midwest region, a testament to his successful and widely recognized insurance litigation practice.
At the firm, Tyler helps insurance providers evaluate novel and complex insurance coverage claims and develop risk-averse strategies to resolve issues and negotiate disputes to avoid costly litigation. When litigation becomes necessary, he employs years of experience and strong legal acumen to defend clients against breach of policy and bad faith claims and to pursue subrogation and contribution on behalf of clients in state and federal courts across the country.
Since its inception in 2008, Benchmark Litigation has served as a preeminent guide to leading litigation firms and attorneys in North America and, in recent years, globally. It is the only publication on the market to focus exclusively on litigation.
