A bit about us:
We are a long-established, full-service law firm with deep roots in Western Massachusetts, serving local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individuals for generations. Our practice spans a wide range of legal matters, with a strong concentration in civil litigation and related practice areas.
While we proudly honor our legacy, we operate with a modern, hands-on approach to legal practice. Clients have direct access to firm leadership, and attorneys work collaboratively across practice groups to deliver thoughtful, effective representation. Community involvement is core to who we are — our attorneys are actively engaged in local organizations, boards, and civic initiatives, reflecting our long-standing commitment to the region we serve.
Why join us?
Hands-on litigation experience: Associates are actively involved in client meetings, depositions, hearings, mediations, and drafting — no “document review only” roles
True mentorship: Structured mentorship from a diverse group of experienced trial attorneys who are invested in your development
Early responsibility: Gain courtroom and client-facing experience far earlier than peers at larger or more rigid firms
Collegial culture: A collaborative, team-oriented environment where attorneys work together across practice areas
Work-life balance that’s real: We work hard, but we genuinely value family, community, and life outside the office
Regional commitment: Build a long-term legal career in Western Massachusetts with a firm that is deeply invested in the local community
This is an opportunity to grow faster, learn more, and practice law the way it’s meant to be practiced.
