In many ways, this large Massachusetts firm is defined by the interplay between the century-old institution and the younger, more aggressive management. Although this firm could have been accused of resting on its laurels for a time, having developed one of the largest and most recognized practices in the region, this firm is now much more proactive in management and long term planning. With historically strong real estate and environmental practices, this large firm is now focusing on its intellectual property and technology capabilities. So too are the partners focusing on associate life, which may have gone by the wayside until recently. Associates now working in these traditional offices are generally happy with this firm's progress into the 21st century.

Dare we say that this mid-sized Boston firm is fun? But truthfully, it is. A full service firm with modest but comfortable offices has some of the most interesting attorneys around. With impressive achievement both inside and outside of the office, these attorneys excel at young ages. For instance, one young lawyer is taking a leadership role in a Boston CLE program. Another is heading a prominent and fun community program. And, importantly, both are valued by the leadership of the firm for their contributions. Interesting clientele have followed, including notable sports teams and Fortune 500s. We believe the best practice areas are bankruptcy and creditor's rights and construction, which will continue to be busy over the next several months and years.
