March 4, 2025 - Seyfarth Shaw LLP and four firm lawyers were singled out in the 2025 JD Supra Readers' Choice Awards, which acknowledges top authors and firms for their thought leadership in key topics during all of last year.

Seyfarth’s April 23, 2024 article, FTC Non-Compete Ban: What You Need to Know , was ranked as one of the top read articles in Labor & Employment on JD Supra. The article delved deeply into the ramifications of the FTC’s decision that day which prohibited an employer from entering into, or attempting to enter into, a non-compete clause with a “worker” (including, e.g., employees and independent contractors) or representing that a worker is subject to a non-compete clause.

Four Seyfarth lawyers were ranked as Top Authors for 2024: Mahsa Aliaskari (Immigration), Jesse Coleman (Labor & Employment), John Carl "JC" Zwisler (Trademarks), and Brandon Bigelow (Transportation). Each wrote a series of articles throughout the year covering her/his respective practice areas.

The JD Supra Readers' Choice Awards recognize top authors and firms who were read by C-suite executives, in-house counsel, media, and other professionals across the JD Supra platform during 2024.

This year’s awards recognize:

  • Authors for their visibility and thought leadership covering 33 key, cross-industry topics (10 authors per category, barring ties)
  • Firms for their visibility and engagement in the 33 topics covered by the awards (one firm per category).

JD Supra says “the Readers' Choice Awards reflect a deep dive into our 2024 reader data, in which we studied total visibility and engagement among readers across many industries interested in certain defining topics of the day.”

JD Supra editors chose the 33 main topics covered in this year's Readers' Choice Awards “for their timeliness as well as their proven, ongoing importance. In each category, we recognize ten authors and one firm for consistently highest readership and engagement within that category for all of 2024. In total, across all categories, we recognized the excellence and achievement of 344 authors selected from over 70,000 who publish their excellent work on our platform.”
