‘With Seyfarth Shaw we have found deep expertise in employment and M&A law. We have been using them for over 15 years and plan on continuing using them.’
'Many firms have lawyers with various specialties that are brought into projects at different times. However, what I found to be unique and very effective at Seyfarth Shaw is that the various attorneys that brought together functioned like a team that works together routinely. They all were a pleasure to work with and their skills complemented one another perfectly.'
‘Suzane Saxman's advice is always clear, useful and actionable.’
‘This team, led by Andrew Lucano, is the most business forward and strategic team I have worked with in the M&A practice. ’
