LOS ANGELES (August 20, 2014) – Seyfarth Shaw LLP has been named a Law360 2014 California Powerhouse. The list of law firms were selected based ontheir sizable presence in the Golden State and their significant regional accomplishments over the last two years.

Highlighting Seyfarth, Law360 noted: “California’s regulatory landscape has prompted Seyfarth Shaw LLP to publish an annual guide on California’s role as an employment law trendsetter, “Cal-Peculiarities.” Seyfarth has put that expertise to good use, successfully defending Costco Wholesale Corp. earlier this year against a massive consumer suit alleging the retailer kept warehouse employees after stores closed but did not pay them for their extra work.”

In an accompanying profile article,Law360 also highlighted some of Seyfarth’s other growing practices in California, stating: “Seyfarth has also tapped into hundreds of real estate transactions worth billions of dollars since 2012, resulting in a burgeoning real estate, corporate, and trust and estate practice that aspires to replicate the labor and employment team's dominance in California.”
