Seth Cumming is a Barrister for Joseph Hage Aaronson LLP. He is a successful lawyer who has gained a reputable name and is armed with a lot of advocacy and courtroom experience.
Seth Cumming, the name was not new to the news outlets because of his relationship with Rinder, but the mention of him ricocheted off after his split with his husband in 2018.
Seth has been passionate about the law and has been pursuing it fiercely. Between 2001 and 2004, Seth attended Rhodes University, a public research university located in Grahamstown, an African city in the Eastern Cape Province. His major for his undergraduate degree was ‘Economics and Philosophy.’
Following graduation from college, Seth moved to London, England, where he spent the academic years 2005–2006 studying at the London School of Economics and Political Science (often abbreviated as ‘LSE’). Cumming was quite unsatisfied with his undergraduate degree, and his thirst to become a renowned name in law pushed him to gain a degree in Law. He then completed his Bachelors of Laws-LLB from BPP Law School. Also, he signed up for a bar vocational course at the City, University of London for a year during his final year.
Seth continued his schooling at University College London (UCL), which has the third-largest student body in the United Kingdom. Cumming enrolled in the ‘Master of Laws’ (LLM) program from 2013 to 2015. Here he learned about the practice of law.
After moving to England in 2005, he started working as an analyst for Accenture, a well-known multinational professional services firm. The firm particularises extensively in consulting, digital technology, operations, and strategy-related solutions.
Seth worked as a barrister for the ‘Three Stone’ law business for almost six years. The company is particularly notable for offering the modern Chancery Bar’s specialized advisory services in all conventional practice areas, including partnerships, trusts and estates, real estate, corporations, charities, and intellectual property. They also take on disputes involving banking, commerce, taxes, and court reviews in addition to providing these services.

For the most excellent client outcomes, whether through mediation, litigation, settlement, or arbitration, the business has access to a variety of top-tier solicitors, barristers, data scientists, and forensic accountants. Before working with JHA, Seth used to be a political consultant to the former Conservative chancellor, George Osborn.
Seth’s personal information is quite hard to obtain as he likes to remain tight-lipped about it. His childhood, parents, siblings even his date of birth has been revealed yet. But looking at his profile, Seth seems to be in his mid-forties.
