In 2015, Seth defended Yusen Terminals in a three-week trial in Los Angeles Superior Court involving a marine clerk’s allegations that she had been unlawfully retaliated against during a training program. The plaintiff, represented by well-known Los Angeles trial lawyer Mark Geragos, sought millions of dollars in the case. The jury returned a defense verdict.

Seth was involved in the historic Taft–Hartley labor injunction litigation during the 2002 West Coast shipping industry work slowdown. He also was part of the 2008 and 2014 West Coast ports labor negotiations.

Seth is involved in a range of community service activities. He has coached inner city boys’ Little League and basketball teams, and girls' basketball and softball teams. He also has helped build homes for impoverished families in Tanzania, Honduras, and Guatemala; and taught at an orphanage in Nepal. Seth serves on the board of directors for the Espwa Orphanage in Les Cayes, one of Haiti’s largest non-government orphanages.
