It is no exaggeration to say that Seyfarth Shaw’s 100-lawyer team of employment litigators in Chicago is “truly the soul of our firm,” chairman J. Stephen Poor said. Chicago is “where we started” 69 years ago, Poor said, and it is “a town of the most incredibly talented competitive litigators in the country.”

During the past year, the firm has shown that it thrives in that intense market, and for that reason Seyfarth Shaw is one of the 2014 Chicago Litigation Departments of the Year for labor and employment.
