Seyfarth Shaw "Writes the Book" on Wage-Hour Litigation

Members of Seyfarth Shaw's Wage and Hour Litigation Practice Group have authored Wage & Hour Collective and Class Litigation, the first-of-its kind treatise on wage and hour litigation. Published by American Lawyer Media's Law Journal Press, the 912-page volume is the most comprehensive guide published to date that focuses on litigation strategy through all phases of wage and hour lawsuits, the area of high-stakes litigation that, as readers of this blog well know, has plagued employers in recent years.  Indeed, wage and hour lawsuits have outpaced all other types of workplace class actions in recent years, and have surged by more than 325% since the early 2000s.

The book blueprints the mechanics of wage and hour cases, examines how employers in multiple industries are targeted for wage and hour lawsuits, and provides substantive procedural and practical considerations that determine the outcome of such actions in today’s courts.  Principally designed to assist employment litigators and in-house counsel, Seyfarth’s book should also prove useful to senior management seeking to fend off wage-hour actions before they strike.
