About Sean G.
Sean G. Livesey built a steady path from the University of Richmond to a Pennsylvania courtroom. He completed his Bachelor of Arts in 2009, then returned to Richmond for law school and graduate study. He earned his J.D. in 2014 and added an M.B.A. in 2015, an uncommon pairing that shaped both the legal and practical sides of his approach.
Early in his legal career Livesey took roles that exposed him to different sides of practice. In 2018 he worked as a project lawyer at BrownGreer PLC, a role that involved discrete, time-sensitive legal assignments. Later that year he joined Zarwin Baum DeVito Kaplan Schaer Toddy, P.C. as an associate attorney. Those positions gave him experience on transactions and client matters that required accuracy and steady judgment.
In 2021 he launched Livesey Associates and served as a partner. That move marked a shift into firm leadership and direct client management. He handled matters that called for both case-level attention and the administrative responsibilities of running a smaller practice. The following year he moved to High Swartz LLP, where his title is listed as real estate lawyer. The transition to High Swartz put him back into a larger firm setting and into a practice area that draws on his combined legal and business education.
Livesey is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania. Over time his work has tracked the practical intersections of property, contracts and business considerations. He has experience drafting and negotiating deeds and agreements, reviewing title matters, and assisting clients with transactional steps common to real estate work. His training — law plus an M.B.A. — informs how he frames risk and advises on deal mechanics.
Colleagues describe his style in practical terms: measured, detail-oriented and business-minded. He has handled matters at both boutique and larger-firm scales. That range has meant switching between hands-on legal drafting and supervising other lawyers and staff on client files. The trajectory of his career shows a move toward transactional real estate matters and the sort of client counseling that benefits from a business background.
He practices in Pennsylvania and is based at High Swartz LLP. His current practice centers on real estate matters at High Swartz LLP in Pennsylvania.
