  I concentrate my practice in business litigation as well as general business and employment law. My experience includes disputes in closely-held corporations, commercial contract cases, business torts, executive employment and non-competition litigation, government investigations, commercial landlord-tenant matters, and construction cases. I also serve as counsel to closely-held businesses, advising them on issues such as the initial formation and maintenance of the business entity, contract and employment matters, as well as crisis situations. For over 25 years, my partners and I have built a solid reputation guiding our clients and we are proud of the trust they place in our team. I am also proud that some of the best results my firm achieves for our clients are never seen in a public forum, but rather resolved through professional and proactive means. We are proud to be recognized by Best Law Firms in the area of Commercial Litigation. I am the author of “Shareholder Duties and Disputes in Closely-Held Corporations in Massachusetts Revisited,” “The Attorney-Client Privilege in the Business Context” and “Shareholder Duties and Disputes in Closely Held Corporations in Massachusetts,” all published by the Massachusetts Law Review, and “Is Confidentiality Really Forever Even if the Client Dies or Ceases to Exist,” co-authored with a law school professor and published by the American Bar Association’s Section of Litigation – and subsequently chosen as one of the best articles of the ABA’s sections by the ABA’s Solo, Small Firm and General Practice Division.
