Seyfarth Wins International Employment Lawyer’s 2023 North American Law Firm of the Year Award

Seyfarth was honored with International Employment Lawyer’s 2023 North American Law Firm of the Year Award for Labor and Employment. The firm was also chosen by IEL as a shortlist finalist in two other categories: International Employment Law Firm of the Year, and Executive Compensation Team of the Year.

In granting the honor, IEL wrote: “Under Laura Maechtlen’s leadership, Seyfarth’s national labour and employment team continues to be a market leader in North America. This year has seen numerous gig economy companies call on the firm to defend challenges relating to the independent contractor status of their workers. The firm has also remained at the forefront of workplace discrimination and harassment litigation – as well as handling complex labour arbitrations, collective bargaining negotiations, union organising campaigns, and strikes – representing many big-name employers in high-priority actions brought by the US government’s most litigious agencies.”
