METHODOLOGY<br />

To determine the largest law firms in New England, <strong>Lawyers</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> mailed surveys to hundreds of firms based on information<br />

from previous surveys and other sources. The questionnaire was also posted on www.masslawyersweekly.com, with all firms in<br />

New England invited to participate. Firms are ranked by the number of attorneys they employed in a particular New England state<br />

as of Jan. 1, 2008. The total includes lawyers in all offices. Firms that have the same number of attorneys are listed alphabetically.<br />

FROM THE PUBLISHER<br />

To our readers:<br />

Welcome to <strong>Lawyers</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong>’s first-ever edition of New England’s Largest Law Firms. While we have been<br />

surveying the 100 largest firms in <strong>Massachusetts</strong> for more than a decade, this magazine-style resource represents<br />

the first time we document firms across the New England region.<br />

This directory is being mailed to subscribers of <strong>Massachusetts</strong> <strong>Lawyers</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> and Rhode Island <strong>Lawyers</strong><br />

<strong>Weekly</strong>; we estimate that somewhere in the ballpark of 35,000 lawyers will have it available to them as a<br />

reference. But it’s also being sent out to more than 4,000 readers of our New England In-House newspaper.<br />

So we anticipate that this guide will be on the desks of thousands of corporate decisionmakers, available to<br />

them whenever they consider what law firm they wish to retain.<br />

Many law firms in this directory take advantage of a deal we offer to publish an “enhanced listing,” which<br />

includes a wealth of additional information about the firm. That’s the reason why some listings in the directory<br />

appear more elaborate than others. Firms of all sizes take advantage of this option, getting their name<br />

in front of countless in-house attorneys.<br />

We put a lot of work into this directory, but we are always open to suggestions as to how to proceed in the<br />

future. Contact me directly with feedback (david.yas@lawyersweekly.com). For advertising information,<br />

please get in touch with our Advertising Director Scott Ziegler (scott.ziegler@lawyersweekly.com). And if<br />

you are interested in our New England In-House publication, please feel free to get in touch with Publisher<br />

Paul Boynton (paul.boynton@lawyersweekly.com).<br />

For additional copies of this directory, please call 1-800-451-9998 or visit http://books.lawyersweekly.com.<br />

Thank you. We hope you enjoy and make use of this directory.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Managing Member<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

Mintz Levin was formed in 1933 to provide<br />

excellent legal services in an atmosphere<br />

of mutual respect, dignity and tolerance.<br />

The values that provided the impetus<br />

for the firm’s creation provide us with a<br />

precious foundation and a proud legacy. It<br />

is important that we periodically recommit<br />

ourselves to those values. Our clients: We<br />

are committed to providing our clients<br />

with the highest quality of service, loyalty,<br />

unparalleled excellence and total dedication,<br />

while always maintaining unquestionably<br />

high ethical standards. Quality must<br />

be, foremost and always, our highest priority.<br />

We are committed to understanding<br />

our clients’ personal, business and strategic<br />

goals and to exceeding even their justifiably<br />

high expectations of us. This standard<br />

of service is best achieved through a teamoriented<br />

approach to problem solving and<br />

a collegial and collaborative interaction<br />

among ourselves. Profits are important as<br />

an indicator of quality and the market’s<br />

evaluation of our practice. They serve as<br />

well to keep the firm viable and to attract<br />

and retain the most gifted talent. However,<br />

the pursuit of profits will never be permitted<br />

to compromise the obligations that we<br />

have to our clients, to each other, to the<br />

legal profession and to our communities.<br />

Our culture: Our colleagues are our most<br />

valuable assets. They deserve, and must<br />

receive, the highest standard of professional<br />

and personal respect and civility. Our<br />

interaction with one another largely<br />

defines who we are as a firm. We strive to<br />

promote diversity in the firm, and to<br />

respect the dignity, differences and individual<br />

contributions that each Mintz Levin<br />

employee brings to the firm. We should<br />

take great pleasure in, and personal<br />

responsibility for, one another’s professional<br />

development and successes. We want to<br />

work hard, but maintain a sense of humor,<br />

fun and high spirits. Our future: We are<br />

fortunate to have jobs that we enjoy, serve<br />

clients whom we respect, and work with<br />

colleagues whom we value. The ongoing<br />

success of the firm requires a collective<br />

commitment to these core values and to<br />

the transmission of these values to each<br />

succeeding generation.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

Choate has been one of the nation’s leading<br />

law firms for over a century. We are<br />

materially different in a number of important<br />

ways, from the firms we compete<br />

with. We believe those differences benefit<br />

our clients. Our mission is to focus on a<br />

core group of specialized services that we<br />

provide to sophisticated clients on important<br />

matters across and outside the country.<br />

All of our 200 lawyers, and the professional<br />

management team and staff of 250<br />

that support them, are located in Boston.<br />

Our specialized practices, our single<br />

office and our single-minded focus on<br />

adding value to our clients and their businesses<br />

allow us to provide unique levels<br />

of service, efficiency and accountability.<br />

Our goal, always, is to exceed the expectations<br />

of even our most demanding<br />

clients. We are privileged to represent<br />

clients that include public and private<br />

technology companies, private equity and<br />

venture capital firms, Fortune 500 companies,<br />

leading financial institutions and<br />

wealthy individuals. Our client base<br />

extends across the U.S. and many foreign<br />

countries. At the end of the day, we measure<br />

ourselves the same way our sophisticated<br />

clients do: based on the value we<br />

provide to them and their businesses. Our<br />

core areas of focus are private equity,<br />

public companies, mergers & acquisitions,<br />

technology and intellectual property,<br />

patent litigation, insurance & reinsurance,<br />

major commercial litigation and<br />

wealth management. We also have leading<br />

practices in government enforcement,<br />

finance & restructuring, real estate,<br />

employment and health care.<br />

Length of paid family leave: A four-week (20day)<br />

paid parenting leave within three<br />

months following the birth or adoption of a<br />

child is available to eligible employees. The<br />

time may be taken intermittently or in a<br />

block of time.<br />

Flextime for attorneys: Offering flexibility in<br />

work schedules is an important element of<br />

the firm’s commitment to its lawyers.<br />

Flextime is a rearrangement, but not a<br />

reduction of, office hours. It includes<br />

compressed time in which a lawyer<br />

handles a full workload in fewer, longer<br />

workdays, instead of a normal work day.<br />

The lawyer remains responsible for a full<br />

workload based on the current standard<br />

schedule of billable and non-billable<br />

requirements in his/her office and is<br />

entitled to full compensation. The firm also<br />

allows attorneys to work a modified<br />

schedule of hours with a reduction of 10<br />

percent to 40 percent of the billable/nonbillable<br />

hour requirements and<br />

corresponding office hours. The firm offers<br />

a flex-place arrangement where it is<br />

agreed that some or all of a lawyer’s<br />

responsibilities may be handled at home or<br />

some other agreed-upon location, within<br />

the boundaries of licensing and other<br />

restrictions.<br />

Flextime for staff: Where possible, flexibility is<br />

made available for starting and ending<br />

time, length of work day, number of days<br />

worked, and an option to work weekend or<br />

evening hours.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

Our core purpose is to provide superior<br />

legal services to our clients, but our philosophy<br />

is that superior legal services<br />

alone are not enough. Beyond finding the<br />

best legal solutions for any single deal,<br />

transaction or case, we find those that are<br />

focused on helping clients achieve their<br />

overall business and growth goals, and<br />

satisfy their need for practical, cost-effective<br />

legal services. This philosophy<br />

requires superior knowledge of the law<br />

and a deep understanding of what works<br />

in an ever-changing market, but it also<br />

encourages an entrepreneurial spirit,<br />

proactive, creative problem solving and<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

At Bowditch & Dewey, we operate under<br />

a business model similar to that of many<br />

of our business clients. We are a<br />

<strong>Massachusetts</strong> law firm with a Boston<br />

office, but all of our back office operations<br />

and many of our lawyers are located<br />

in lower-cost Framingham and Worcester.<br />

We provide a depth of practice in our


core areas of business, litigation, real<br />

estate and trust and estates that rivals<br />

much larger firms, yet we offer better<br />

value and access to senior lawyers. For<br />

lawyers seeking an organization that provides<br />

service not only to its clients, but to<br />

its communities, its fellow citizens and to<br />

each other, Bowditch maintains a stimulating<br />

work environment for outstanding<br />

lawyers who are team players.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

For more than 25 years, the Hanify &<br />

King approach has provided clients the<br />

judgment, advice and personal attention<br />

of senior lawyers, delivered promptly and<br />

cost-effectively. We firmly believe that the<br />

best legal counsel does not have to be the<br />

most expensive, nor should legal problems<br />

be made more complicated than<br />

they really are. At Hanify & King, every<br />

lawyer is committed to two principles:<br />

understanding the client’s business and<br />

bringing value to each client transaction.<br />

We believe our clients deserve distinctly<br />

personal attention, so we staff every client<br />

matter with the fewest lawyers necessary.<br />

This fosters a close working relationship<br />

that allows clients to meet both their legal<br />

needs and business goals. In this relationship<br />

our attorneys are guided by the highest<br />

standards of personal and professional<br />

conduct. Taking a practical look at our<br />

client’s problem, thoroughly explaining<br />

legal issues and exploring all available<br />

alternatives ensures that our clients’ legal<br />

resources are used productively. Our<br />

56 LARGEST LAW FIRMS<br />

clients find that this judgment can be just<br />

as valuable as our legal expertise. To<br />

increase our efficiency and value to our<br />

clients, we continue to make significant<br />

investments in the advanced tools and<br />

software necessary in the management of<br />

large legal projects. This commitment to<br />

technology allows us to conduct paperless<br />

trials, manage complex databases,<br />

organize cases and develop successful<br />

trial presentations.<br />

Richard M. Bluestein<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

Since our inception in 1979, we have<br />

been guided by three distinctive principles:<br />

commitment, skill and impact.<br />

Commitment means dedication to the<br />

achievement of our clients’ mission-driven<br />

goals. It means prudent yet inspired planning<br />

advice; creative strategies in litigation;<br />

innovative programmatic recommendations<br />

for our non-profit and public<br />

clients; and timely and efficient handling<br />

of transactional matters. It means careful<br />

staffing of our clients’ matters so that longterm<br />

relationships with senior attorneys<br />

continue to grow and prosper while new<br />

relationships with junior attorneys are<br />

being forged. And it means sensitivity to<br />

legal fees and an acknowledgment that a


victory achieved at too high a cost may be<br />

no victory at all to the client. Skill means<br />

talent and wisdom in negotiations, transactions<br />

and trial work and an underlying<br />

awareness of a client’s objectives that<br />

informs everything else. It means the ability<br />

to grasp and internalize complex concepts<br />

and to use them to our clients’ greatest<br />

advantage. Finally, it means the<br />

exploitation of our knowledge base, combined<br />

with creativity and insight, to truly<br />

innovate. Impact means playing a vital<br />

role in our clients’ successes. It means<br />

providing our clients the framework to<br />

make acquisitions, bring on key investors<br />

and employees, enter into strategic partnerships,<br />

and transition to new generations.<br />

It means devising bold strategies to<br />

change the direction of high stakes litigation.<br />

It means viewing the complex statutory<br />

and regulatory requirements governing<br />

our non-profit and public clients as<br />

opportunities for growth and innovation<br />

— rather than as restrictions and constraints.<br />

Lastly, it means helping our clients<br />

to make the most of their opportunities.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />

Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner<br />

has established core values that guide the<br />

way in which we conduct ourselves with<br />

our colleagues and our clients. Our core<br />

values are unyielding; they do not change<br />

with time, and they are not affected by<br />

market conditions or adjustments to the<br />

firm’s strategy. We reinforce our core values<br />

in everything we do. Commitment to<br />

client success: We are deeply committed<br />

to the success of our clients. We carry<br />

out this commitment by providing the<br />

highest level of value to our clients<br />

through outstanding, responsive, and efficient<br />

delivery of legal services.<br />

Excellence: We demonstrate excellence to<br />

our clients and to each other in everything<br />

we do through individual initiative,


hard work, and collaboration. Integrity:<br />

We maintain the highest personal and<br />

professional integrity through our decisions,<br />

communications, and actions within<br />

our firm, with our clients and in our<br />

communities. Respect: We act with<br />

respect for each other and for our clients.<br />

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive<br />

workplace that values different perspectives.<br />

Investment: We invest capital<br />

communities. Innovation: We continually<br />

challenge ourselves to learn. We value<br />

innovation and embrace change that<br />

strengthens and improves our firm and<br />

our ability to serve clients. Partnership:<br />

Being a partner means more than owning<br />

a percentage of the firm. We are committed<br />

to communicating and operating in an<br />

open, productive, and democratic way, as<br />

well as to achieving consensus on important<br />

decisions. Teamwork: We work<br />

together to help our clients, our colleagues<br />

and our firm to achieve success.<br />

While we value individual contributions,<br />

we believe our best results are achieved<br />

when we work collaboratively.<br />
