WHAT WE DO

SETAREH LAW GROUP is a renowned and well-respected, class-action and complex litigation law firm. We are on the forefront of cutting-edge wage-and-hour law, defining the contours of the law in complex litigation.

Our practice consists of mainly consumer employment and wage and hour class actions.

With more than 200 citable Westlaw citations and a veritable list of successful high-profile cases, our firm was lead counsel in the California Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Troester v.

Starbucks Corporation (2018) 5 Cal.5th 829 (departing from the federal de minimus rule with respect to wages) undoubtedly one of the most important cases in the last 50 years.

Our victory also extended to the FCRA in Gilberg v. California Check Cashing, Inc. , 913 F.3d 1169 (2019), which expanded the Ninth-Circuit’s holding in Syed v.

M-I, LLC , 853 F.3d 492 (2017), which abolished the notion that a disclosure may not contain just a liability waiver rather, the Ninth Circuit held that any surplusage in a disclosure form prior to obtaining a background check violates the standalone disclosure requirement under the FCRA.
