May 21, 2025 - Seyfarth Shaw LLP has further enhanced its highly decorated Labor & Employment Department by adding Kyle Nelson as a partner based in Seattle.
Nelson focuses primarily on wage and hour class action defense. His practice extends to high-stakes employment litigation and employment law counseling. He has earned a strong reputation for litigating class action cases creatively and finding strategic advantages to position cases for resolution.
“Kyle Nelson is a terrific addition to our outstanding national Wage and Hour team,” said Laura Maechtlen, chair of the national Labor & Employment department at Seyfarth. “He fills an important strategic need for us with his notable experience in the Pacific Northwest. We are totally convinced Kyle will be a key player in boosting and growing our Wage and Hour practice in Seattle, and the Firm overall.”
“Wage and hour class actions filed in the state of Washington have surged in the past couple of years with federal court and state court filings exponentially greater,” said Thomas Wybenga, co-managing partner of Seyfarth’s Seattle office and a partner in the Labor & Employment department. “That upward trend necessitated supplementing our already strong Seattle Labor and Employment team with someone who can effectively respond to the proliferation of these suits in the Pacific Northwest. Kyle Nelson clearly fills that need with his robust wage and hour practice.”
