SAN FRANCISCO (January 27, 2022) -- Seyfarth announced today the
arrival of partner Jamie R. Rich to its Labor & Employment
department and Labor Management Relations practice group in San
Francisco. Rich previously served as a Greenberg Traurig
shareholder in San Francisco and Sacramento where she was national
co-chair of the firm's Labor & Employment practice's
Labor-Management Relations group.
Rich advises employers in complex labor management relations and
high-stakes employment litigation. A skilled labor law
practitioner, she counsels businesses from a diverse range of
industries in matters before the National Labor Relations Board and
has successfully negotiated many collective bargaining agreements.
Rich also represents clients before the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission in issues involving discrimination and
harassment.
"We continue to expand our labor relations roster with lawyers
at the top of their field," said Laura Maechtlen, chair of
Seyfarth's Labor & Employment department. "Jamie
brings a practice that is in high demand and her industry knowledge
will serve clients and colleagues across the country."
Rich is the latest partner to join Seyfarth's Labor Management
Relations practice group on the West Coast. Earlier this month,
Kamran Mirrafati rejoined the firm's Labor & Employment
department in Los Angeles.
"Jamie joins a deep bench of labor lawyers who call our
full-service office home," said Christian Rowley, managing
partner of Seyfarth's San Francisco office. "She is a
well-respected leader in the Bay Area business community and owns
an exceptional reputation for client service. We're thrilled to
have her on our team."
Rich earned her J.D. from Pepperdine University School of Law and
received a B.A. from the University of Southern California. She is
an active member of the National Association of Women Lawyers,
California Women Lawyers, and Marin County Women Lawyers.
