Seyfarth Shaw LLP
New York, NY
Loren represents employers before state and federal courts, administrative agencies, arbitrators, mediators, and other tribunals regarding all legal issues relating to the workplace, including wage and hour collective and class actions, discrimination, harassment, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, noncompete, and other restrictive covenants and trade secrets. He also counsels employers, negotiates agreements, and conducts investigations regarding these issues, with particular attention on strategies to avoid litigation. Additionally, he participated actively in the United States Chamber of Commerce task force that developed comments on the United States Department of Labor’s proposed regulatory changes to the FLSA’s white-collar exemptions.
Loren has more than 25 years of experience working as a labor and employment attorney. He developed an especially broad foundation for his representation of employers by previously practicing plaintiff’s employment law and commercial litigation. Loren has successfully tried, arbitrated, mediated, and otherwise advocated in numerous matters involving multiple and single plaintiffs. His advocacy abilities in the courtroom, as well as his negotiating and public speaking abilities, have been enriched by his considerable training and experience as an actor.
Recognition of Loren’s professional accomplishments includes his election as a Fellow of the College of Labor and Employment Attorneys, listing in Best Lawyers in America (Woodward/White Inc.) (2010–2024) and Super Lawyers (Thomson Reuters) (2007–2011, 2014–2019), appointments to Chair the Committee on Legal Issues Affecting People With Disabilities and the State Affairs Committee of the New York City Bar Association, and selection for mayoral appointment to the New York City Commission on Human Rights.

Mentorship Program
The New York State Bar Association’s Labor & Employment Law Section (“L&E”) has a long history of mentoring lawyers new to the profession. In an effort to institutionalize and expand these efforts, L&E has established a Section-wide mentoring program for junior attorneys interested in a career in the field of labor and employment law by introducing them to the Section and by increasing their exposure to seasoned labor and employment lawyers in the L&E Section.
The focus of the L&E Section’s mentoring program is to nurture lawyers new to the profession by matching junior lawyers with seasoned L&E practitioners who are also leaders in the Section. Mentors have agreed to commit their time and energies to coach and counsel mentees on Section membership and the practice of law in our area. Among the goals of the program are:
- To introduce the new lawyers to the leaders of New York’s labor and employment law bar;
- To help promote collegiality among and between labor and employment law practitioners in New York and to help bridge the generational divide;
- To help introduce and integrate new lawyers more easily into our Section and its activities ;
- To foster and develop the mentee’s practical skills and professional judgment;
- To help promote diversity in the Section; and
- To continue and promote the highest ideals of our Section and of the labor and employment law bar in New York.
