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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
