Law360 Names Seyfarth “Practice Group of the Year” in Employment Law for 2020

For the ninth time, Seyfarth was named a Law360 top Employment “Practice Group of the Year.” Now in its 11th year, the “Practice Group of the Year” series drew 775 submissions in 2020. The distinction is given to those firms behind the litigation wins and major deals that resonated throughout the legal industry in the past year.

In its profile, Law360 said the firm, “…notched victories in high-profile overtime cases this year while also collaborating with affinity groups to support diverse lawyers throughout the profession who may face a disproportionate punch from the COVID-19 pandemic, earning it a spot among Law360's 2020 Employment Practice Groups of the Year.”

In the Law360 profile, Laura Maechtlen, chair of the firm's Labor and Employment department, said she's proud of how the firm pivoted not only to adapt its existing portfolio to remote work, but also how her team took on its new workload. Maechtlen continued:

"One of the most exciting things that we saw was the ability for a variety of people to step forward and be entrepreneurial."

"We had teams that leveraged our collective resources among the whole firm to create new and different resources for clients."

“The goal at Seyfarth is to go beyond pleasing clients and taking extra steps that really delight them.”

“In addition to the commitment to client service, Seyfarth is dedicated to elevating the practice of law.”
