Seyfarth’s strategic expansion of its Wage & Hour platform in Seattle—marked by the addition of partners Kathryn Rosen and Devin Smith—has generated significant coverage across leading legal and business outlets, including Law360, Bloomberg Law, International Employment Lawyer, Global Legal Chronicle, and Thomson Reuters Westlaw Today.
The coverage underscores Rosen and Smith’s deep experience handling complex wage‑and‑hour and employment class actions and highlights the growing volume of such litigation in Washington state.
In Law360, Smith emphasized the strategic fit between his practice and Seyfarth’s national platform, noting:
“Seyfarth’s national scope, reputation in the market and impressive bench made joining the firm an easy choice and natural fit for me and Katie. We’re excited to help grow the employment class action practice at Seyfarth in Washington and beyond.”
Smith also highlighted the firm’s leadership in responding to the rapid increase in employment class actions across the state, explaining:
“Seyfarth is at the leading edge of defending these cases and developing effective strategies for clients — whether that means driving down potential exposure, challenging class certification or making favorable law.”
