Biography
For more than twenty years, Seth has worked as a lawyer serving businesses ranging from start-ups and family companies to high tech firms, professional organizations, retailers and temporary labor services. Seth uses his experience to anticipate client issues and to develop forward-looking strategies to address complicated problems. With his expertise and thorough knowledge of the law, Seth has repeatedly saved employers facing class-action overtime lawsuits from multi-million dollar liability and obtained favorable outcomes for general contractors entangled in complex construction disputes.
Seth is a leader in developing and implementing innovative policies and procedures to protect confidential information and trade secrets and in ensuring that businesses comply with applicable law after breaches involving personal data. He has been certified as an information privacy professional in US private-sector law by the International Association of Privacy Professionals [1] and has presented several seminars on information privacy topics to business owners and human resources professionals.

Seth Daniel Matus's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Seth on a litigation matter in Cook county. He was through, diligent, professional and made realistic settlement recommendations to his client. I would highly recommend him to others and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future. I endorse Seth D. Matus."
"Seth is an effective litigation advocate and skilled settlement negotiator, based on my experience working with Seth as co-counsel on multiple mechanics lien litigation cases. Seth demonstrated deep knowledge and experience with mechanics lien litigation claims and diligently “worked up” our client’s claims to maximize their recovery value. Importantly, Seth provided timely practical advice when settlement would likely provide a better outcome than pursuing a case through trial. I endorse Seth without reservation and gladly trust and refer clients to him for commercial litigation and employment law litigation matters."
