Glenn Smith, Molly Gabel and Karla Sanchez head up Seyfarth Shaw LLP‘s team and are split between New York, Seattle and Chicago respectively. The group as a whole utilizes a ’strong overall labor strategy‘ and a nationwide presence to handle unfair labor practice charges and representation proceedings in front of the National Labor Relations Board regularly. More broadly, the group tackles complex labor arbitrations, negotiations relating to collective bargaining, unfair labor practice charges, representation, and union organizing campaigns. This strategy is embodied by Arthur Telegen in Boston, a notable practitioner in the team who ’is a leader in labor strategy and execution and is remarkably smart and practical.’ Sanchez is a dedicated labor lawyer with a strong focus on traditional labor law matters, and Brian Stolzenbach, who operates out of the firm’s Chicago office, is a ‘highly trusted go-to lawyer on complex labor matters’. Bryan O’Keefe is key for the group's traditional labor law matters.

- 'Brian Stolzenbach is a highly trusted go-to lawyer on complex labor matters. His ability to balance conservative legal analysis with a pragmatic approach to our style of risk assessment has been an invaluable asset. Kamran Mirrafati ran a team that jumped right into a difficult organizing campaign in California. He built trust quickly, including with some initial skeptics, and navigated external regulator relationships very effectively, obtaining excellent results.'
