Seth W. Brewster

With over 25 years of experience in business litigation and complex commercial matters, Seth W. Brewster is a successful litigator and trial lawyer arising from his representation of a wide variety of businesses, developers, dealers, franchisees, manufacturers, distributors, corporations, shareholders, individual officers and directors, and service providers in corporate and commercial disputes.

With vast experience in commercial disputes and the antitrust laws, Seth brings innovative and creative approaches to advance the clients’ interests. For example, in a matter where an arbitrator ruled that Maine dealership law applied extraterritorially, Seth helped to amend the Maine dealership statute (so it applied only to Maine dealers) and made the legislative amendment retroactive to the pending case.

In the courtroom, Seth has successfully tried a number of cases to verdict. Clients who have observed Seth at trial have high praise for his skills. As an example, one client wrote: “Attorney Brewster’s dedication, knowledge, hard work and integrity were invaluable in achieving the favorable result in this litigation.”

Seth’s legal career also has included being a partner in one of Maine’s largest law firms, serving for three years on the legislative staff of U.S. Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell, and practicing law for three years at Ropes & Gray in the areas of securities and antitrust litigation.
