Kayvon Sabourian

In addition to his legal work, Mr. Sabourian has effectively advocated for changes to government policies.  In 2014, Mr. Sabourian organized a diverse coalition of local workers and taxpayers, who successfully advocated for better pay for workers on government-funded projects.  In 2015, Mr. Sabourian helped in the reprioritization of taxpayer money earmarked for the hiring of more police officers to after-school programs, parks and libraries.  Mr. Sabourian’s litigation and advocacy has been covered by The New York Times, The Nation, the Austin American-Statesman, and the Austin Chronicle.  The Nation called Mr. Sabourian’s litigation work on behalf of a group of guestworkers “one of the largest human trafficking cases in US history.”  Since joining Matern Law Group, Mr. Sabourian has continued to advocate effectively for workers and recovered millions of dollars for California employees.
