After ten years of experience in local county government, Peter A. Bee founded the firm in 1980 as a general practice law firm, with a strong emphasis in management-side labor relations.
Following an early association with Richard P. Ready and the addition of various associate attorneys, the firm strengthened its work in labor and employment law, and expanded into commercial litigation, residential and commercial real estate, negligence defense litigation, corporate law and criminal law. During this time, Peter M. Fishbein joined the firm as its Managing Partner, and James R. Hatter and Thomas J. Donovan joined the defense litigation group.
