Seth has advised on, structured, and executed commercial transactions throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, both as a legal practitioner as well as an equity and debt holder.

Additionally, Seth strives to make pro bono work a core aspect of the Kaplowitz Firm culture to support the economic and social vitality of the communities in which we work and live. Seth has represented a wide range of pro bono clients, including: nonprofit entities with organizational, transactional, and operational needs, seniors with estate planning needs, tenants seeking to maintain their housing and correct substandard living conditions, and individuals and organizations seeking to protect intellectual property rights.
