Pryor Cashman is proud to announce that Nick Saady has been named one of just 40 attorneys in the country to receive the American Bar Association's 2026 On the Rise – Top 40 Young Lawyers Award.

Presented by the largest voluntary association of lawyers in the world, the honor recognizes 40 early-career lawyers nationwide who demonstrate exceptional achievement, innovation, vision, leadership, and service to the profession and their communities. It is among the most competitive national recognitions that a young lawyer can earn.

Nick was recognized for his work as a litigator and dealmaker across the music, entertainment, and sports industries — representing many of the world's biggest artists, major record labels, global athletes, and sports leagues. The ABA also cited his thought leadership and extensive pro bono work, including his service as an Associate Board member of Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts.

Nick's award reflects Pryor Cashman's deep bench in music, entertainment, and sports, and the firm's commitment to advancing the next generation of industry-leading lawyers.
