We handle all civil litigation primarily for plaintiffs, in other words, we’re usually David versus Goliath. We’re comfortable with that, I did start on Wall Street so I know the game from the big firm side but I’m perfectly happy to operate as a plaintiff against bigger defendants. And typically, we’ve sued some of the bigger institutions in Massachusetts. We handle civil litigation, commercial disputes, business breakups, partnership, maybe freezeouts, that kind of thing.

We also have a specialty in trust and estate disputes, families fighting over money, generally. And then, we’ve also been fairly successful in the employment arena where we’re fighting for plaintiffs who’ve been discriminated against on the basis of perhaps age, gender, sexual harassment, race, those kinds of things. So in general, cases that are perhaps complex and difficult in the commercial arena we’re happy with those kind of cases and hopefully, we can serve clients in that arena.

The thing about working with litigation is that its really an iterative process and we work very closely, hand in glove with our clients it’s their case after all. On the other hand, we like to put our expertise and our legal ability together with their brain, if we could meld into their brain and know what happened. So we’re really trying to get as fact specific as we possibly can so that if we need to go to trial we know as much about the case as the client does. Although we, obviously, look to the client for their intuition and their insights and as I say, it’s a very iterative process. It’s back and forth, we take a step, we find out what’s going on. So I would say we’re more involved with clients, certainly, in the trial preparation than most of the compatriots that I know that are out there.
