18. William Savino

Savino runs with the big dogs. A master networker in his own right, the former Nassau County Bar Association president and Old Brookville village mayor has litigated before trial and appellate courts across the country and represented big-name clients in high-profile cases, such as several insurers of the Sept. 11 World Trade Center Liability Coverage Litigation. Comes with the territory. Rivkin Radler is the largest law firm on Long Island. And it’s attorneys such as Savino who keep it that way. As testament to the firm’s power and influence, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano is an alumnus. So is his new deputy Patrick Foye.
