Kent E. Seton, Esq., an entrepreneur at heart, started his law career simultaneously with the launch of a separate online venture that quickly grew into one of the largest nationwide providers preparing the paperwork for creating 501(c)(3) organizations. At its height, this online company was forming over 200 501(c)(3) organizations per month. At the same time, Mr. Seton also steadily grew his law practice in the Beverly Hills and outlying areas and has become one of the foremost attorneys representing charities on tax, corporate governance and legal matters concerning fundraising. Not only does he regularly speak on legal topics, but, in the last several years he has also spearheaded a free quarterly event featuring the most advanced thinkers in the nonprofit sector for the benefit of sharing resources, information and networking for nonprofit leaders in the Los Angeles Area. Mr. Seton hosts these functions to give back to the nonprofit community. He not only believes in the concept of charity, but he sticks by his word of promise to give back. Throughout his career, Mr. Seton has refused to limit his representation to only the largest nonprofit organizations, even though there are several who call Seton & Associates their law firm. As such, Mr. Seton also represents many small organizations as well and is a dedicated and tireless lawyer educating them on the legalities of running a nonprofit organization. He also enjoys lecturing on subjects including “social entrepreneurism” and “hybrid” entities.
Several months ago, Mr. Seton launched a separate venture, which is a first of its kind investment bank for Mergers & Acquisitions (M & A) transactions in the nonprofit sector. It includes both a for-profit arm and a nonprofit arm; the nonprofit arm is intended to help dissolving charities and to engage in studies concerning the viability of M & A activity in the nonprofit sector.
