About Seth Alan
Seth Alan Rosenberg blends legal training, business study and social work in a career that spans two states. He is a lawyer who crosses disciplines. His background moves between courtrooms, boardrooms and clinical settings.
Rosenberg earned a J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law in 2009, where he studied employment law. He holds an MBA in Business Management from Portland State University (2001) and a Master of Social Work in Mental Health from Arizona State University (1995). Those three degrees form the foundation of an unusual professional profile: legal education layered over management training and clinical social work.
Licensed to practice in both Oregon and Washington, Rosenberg has built his practice around workplace issues and employer-employee disputes. The employment-law coursework from law school is one strand. His MSW gives him familiarity with mental-health topics that can surface in discrimination claims, leave issues and fitness-for-duty matters. His MBA helps him speak the language of business when counseling corporate clients and human-resources teams.
Since 2011 he has served as a managing member of The Rosenberg Law Group, PLLC. Under his management the firm has handled litigation, administrative proceedings and counseling work tied to employment matters. Rosenberg’s role combines case work with oversight of firm operations. He manages client matters while also attending to practice development and the administrative responsibilities that come with running a small firm.
Colleagues and opposing counsel describe him as straightforward in the courtroom and pragmatic at the negotiation table. He brings a methodical approach to case preparation. Witness interviews and document review are part of the everyday work. When matters involve medical or psychological issues, his social-work training informs the questions he asks and the experts he consults.
Outside the office he has continued to engage the themes that recur in his education: business structure, workplace culture and mental-health considerations. That mix shows up in the kinds of matters he accepts and in how he frames strategy for clients. He represents employers and employees in disputes, advises on policies and conducts internal investigations when workplace problems arise.
Rosenberg’s current practice centers on employment and workplace matters, drawing on his combined legal, business and social-work background.
