About Seth
Seth Orkand is an attorney who has built a career across private practice and public service. He pairs a Boston College Law School degree with an undergraduate liberal arts education from Brown University, and he has practiced in both New York and Massachusetts.
Orkand graduated from Brown University in 1999 and earned his J.D. from Boston College Law School in 2007. Those formative years set him on a path that moved quickly from large-firm litigation to government work and then back into firm partnership. The sequence of roles shows a professional comfortable in varied legal environments.
He began his career in 2007 at Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale, and Dorr LLP, where he served in a counsel role. That early experience in a major firm exposed him to complex litigation and transactional work and provided a base for later moves. In 2015 he took on a public service role as an Assistant United States Lawyer at the U.S. Lawyer s Office for the District of Massachusetts. That year in government gave him courtroom experience and an inside view of federal enforcement practices.
After government service he returned to private practice and entered partnership tracks at several firms. In 2016 he became a partner at Demeo LLP. Three years later, in 2019, he joined Miner Orkand Siddall LLP as a partner. Most recently, in 2021, he took on a partner position at Robinson & Cole LLP. The progression reflects steady advancement through roles that demand both legal analysis and management of client matters.
Orkand is admitted to practice in New York and Massachusetts. His work has crossed state lines and federal boundaries, reflecting those dual admissions. Colleagues and clients have noted his familiarity with litigation procedures in both states and his experience handling matters that implicate federal and state law.
He has moved between large national firms, a federal office, and regional partnerships. Each move added a different set of responsibilities — from research and case preparation at the start of his career to leading matters and advising clients as a partner. The record shows a lawyer who has navigated multiple institutional settings and who now brings that background to a firm practice.
Orkand currently practices at Robinson & Cole LLP and handles matters arising in New York and Massachusetts.
