Seyfarth Shaw has added a pair of partners to its labor and employment practice. In New York, Marjorie R. Culver comes over from Paul Hastings and in San Francisco, Eric M. Steinert has returned to the firm after serving an in-house stint the last three years.

Culver joins the firm’s international labor practice. She advises on a wide range of international employment matters in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and South America and is also the co-chair of the International Law Committee of the American Bar Association.

“Marjorie is a leading international employment lawyer, and her approach and extensive experience in a wide range of international matters are an excellent fit with our international employment law practice,” said Darren G. Gardner, , Chair of Seyfarth Shaw’s international labor & employment law practice.

Seyfarth Shaw’s New York office opened in 1979 and is home to more than 100 attorneys.

Steinert was a partner in Seyfarth’s Los Angeles office from 2003-2007, but left to serve as vice president and senior employment counsel for Wachovia Corp. He then became senior counsel of Wells Fargo in 2009 when the banks merged.

“[Steinert’s] practice touches upon nearly every type of employment matter from wage and hour litigation to traditional labor law,” said Lisa J. Damon, chair of Seyfarth Shaw’s labor and employment department. “Eric is truly a jack of all trades and his experience adds tremendous value to our firm.”

Steinert’s practice is focused on representing clients in the financial services industry, and he has represented financial services companies extensively in FINRA arbitrations, wage and hour class actions and single-plaintiff employment litigation.

Seyfarth Shaw’s labor & employment department consists of nearly 350 employment attorneys nationally.
