Biography

Seth Reid is a member of the firm’s Class Actions & Mass Torts, Business & Commercial Disputes and Appellate and Supreme Court Practice Groups. Seth plays a key role in briefing critical motions and appeals in both state and federal court. He has been involved in drafting motions to exclude expert testimony, to exclude evidence from trial, for summary judgment, for judgment at the close of a plaintiff’s case, and for post-trial relief. He has also been involved in drafting appellate briefs in both state and federal court. In all these briefs, Seth distills the facts so that they can be easily understood and explains his clients' legal positions in a way that cuts to the heart of the matter.

Seth received his JD from the Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, where he graduated summa cum laude. He was a senior executive editor for the Washington University Law Review and participated in the Washington University Appellate Clinic, where he assisted in drafting a petition for writ of certiorari. While in law school, Seth also interned for the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Illinois and externed in the Missouri Solicitor General’s Office. After graduation, Seth clerked for the Honorable Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and for the Honorable Lawrence VanDyke on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. During his clerkships, Seth analyzed issues related to arbitration, the scope and effect of court judgments, criminal convictions, diversity jurisdiction, immigration, preemption, employment disputes, and the First Amendment.
