With over two decades of litigation experience, Seth Goldman focuses his practice on commercial, corporate, employment, and securities litigation matters. As Division Head for the Litigation and Employment, Labor & Benefits Sections, Seth also sets the strategic direction for client development and lateral hiring initiatives across litigation and employment practice groups at Mintz. Some of the largest global companies, private equity and hedge funds, sports franchises, and high-net-worth individuals rely on Seth’s insights and guidance. Clients praise him for being “very hardworking and very knowledgeable” on top of being “really affable with a great demeanor.“ They appreciate his ability to handle stressful situations with ease and humor and they note he is “very competent and results-focused.” Seth recently represented minority shareholders of Fragrancenet.com in Buerger et al. v. Apfel, C.A. No. 6539-VCL, a derivative litigation brought against the officers and directors. Litigation involved successfully objecting to the Company’s Special Litigation Committee’s Settlement Agreement and resulted in the sale of the Company to a third party. As a result, the minority shareholders received approximately $40 million. The Delaware Chancery Court approved an attorney fee award of $8 million as a result of the representation. Seth also successfully defended a portfolio company of a large health care-focused private equity fund in an action brought in the Southern District of Florida. After the action was dismissed on summary judgment, he obtained a ruling proposing one of the largest legal fee awards ever granted in Florida.
