What Clients Say
"We faced a potential wage and hour class action with 400 putative class members. Seyfarth's team handled the motion to deny class certification with precision — they knew every Massachusetts wage act precedent cold. The class was not certified."
"A key engineer left for a competitor and took our source code. Seyfarth filed for a temporary restraining order within 24 hours, preserved our trade secrets, and enforced the non-compete. They were aggressive, fast, and exactly what we needed."
"Seyfarth handled the employment and benefits diligence on a $90M acquisition, then stayed through the post-close integration. No surprises. The team understood the deal context — they didn't just mark up documents, they helped us structure around problems we hadn't anticipated."
