The firm's practice consists of the subject areas listed above. Within these areas, the firm provides a level of service normally found only in much larger firms, at hourly rates significantly lower than its large-firm counterparts. The firm is composed mainly of attorneys trained in large law firms, and regularly performs selected tasks for large publicly-held clients, as well as general representation for smaller concerns.
The firm's business attorneys recently have represented issuers in public offerings, private placements, and complex, multinational merger and acquisition work, as well as split-ups of closely held businesses. Litigators regularly represent large banks in complex workouts and ch. 93A business fraud cases (a partner wrote the leading text on that statute), as well as securities and commercial litigation and appeals.
