Bailey Glasser partner Joshua I. Hammack has earned a spot on Benchmark Litigation’s Benchmark 40 and Under US 2026 List, which recognizes leading litigators aged 40 and younger across the country. Joshua is recognized in the Northeast region for his appellate and commercial litigation work. This marks his third consecutive year receiving this honor.

According to Benchmark Litigation, the 2026 guide is the most comprehensive to date, featuring 615 lawyers. The publication describes the honorees as among the “best and brightest litigators” in the United States and the country’s “top emerging talent in litigation.”

This recognition is indeed fitting as Joshua will be arguing an important appeal before the Supreme Court of the United States in October 2026: Salazar v. Paramount Global, a closely watched case concerning the scope of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). The case has received nationwide attention, including Bailey Glasser being named a Law360 “Legal Lion of the Week” following the Supreme Court’s decision to grant certiorari. Just this year, Joshua has led multiple Bailey Glasser appellate teams to victories in the Second and Fifth Circuits, securing affirmances of $20 million and $40 million judgments. And, in addition to October’s Supreme Court argument, Joshua will argue two cases before the Fourth Circuit, and one before the Eleventh Circuit, later this year.
