Mr. Seeger is regularly quoted in the press as an authority

in his field and as the plaintiff counsel in nationally and

internationally prominent cases, including the New York

Times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles

Times, Bloomberg, CBS, CNBC, USA Today, Daily News,

ESPN, and HBO Sports.

He is consistently ranked as one of the best attorneys in

America. The National Association of Distinguished Counsel

has honored him as one of the “Nation’s Top One Percent”

and the prestigious Chambers guide has ranked him a Band

1 lawyer. Lawdragon has called him a “battling titan” and a

“legend” and the National Law Journal has called him a

“trailblazer and pioneer” who has “changed the practice of

litigation.”

Mr. Seeger started his career as a corporate defense lawyer

representing Big Business interests. Struck by the

imbalance of power between corporations and the

individuals victimized by them, he left to become a plaintiff

attorney. Now, whether a class action involving thousands

of people against a multinational conglomerate or an

individual case protecting one client’s rights, he fights with

the same passion and conviction. As the son of a union

carpenter who worked his way through school, a former

amateur boxer and a current Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt,

Mr. Seeger believes in standing up for the little guy—and

willing to go to the mat for him.

Prior to joining Seeger Weiss, Ms. Scullion spent 13 years

as Senior Counsel and Partner at Proskauer Rose LLP

representing plaintiffs, as well as defendants, as lead trial,

hearing, and appellate counsel in class actions, consumer

protection and antitrust litigations across the country.

Among other things, Ms. Scullion was co-lead counsel in

eight class actions against The Republic of Argentina on

behalf of individual retirees and bondholders, where she

secured a cash settlement after multiple appeals to the

Second Circuit. Ms. Scullion also represented clients in

consumer fraud litigation and in proceedings before federal

regulatory agencies.

Ms. Scullion’s practice focuses on consumer protection and

antitrust matters, and she has been central to Seeger

Weiss’s prosecution of claims in this matter. After Equifax’s

massive breach was revealed, Ms. Scullion personally

interviewed clients and led the Seeger Weiss team that

researched, drafted, and filed its complaint. In doing so,

Ms. Scullion drew on her own and the firm’s experience in

consumer and technology matters.

Ms. Scullion currently works with Managing Partner
