Michael Afar Named to Daily Journal’s 2025 “Top 40 Under 40” List

Seyfarth’s Michael Afar, Labor & Employment partner in Los Angeles - Century City, was named to the Daily Journal's “Top 40 Under 40” list. This annual award honors “the future leaders of California’s legal profession by recognizing exceptional young attorneys.”

In his profile, the Daily Journal writes:

“Michael Afar has built his career around the intersection of complex litigation and data-driven analysis in wage-and-hour class action defense. With nearly 11 years of practice, his interest in this specialized area began before law school during a two-year clerkship at Seyfarth Shaw LLP.”

The Daily Journal continued:

“Afar has handled several matters that have shaped legal precedent in employment law. In one case, he worked on the first case to interpret whether a furlough constitutes a "discharge" triggering California's prompt-payment requirements.”
