To our readers:

Welcome to Lawyers Weekly’s annual review of the state’s Largest Law Firms. We have been surveying the 100 largest firms in Massachusetts for more than a decade and are proud to bring you this year’s edition.

The directory is being mailed to all subscribers of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. We estimate that roughly 30,000 lawyers will have it available to them as a reference. It’s also being sent out to more than 3,000 readers of New En-gland In-House. That means we anticipate that this guide will be on the desks of thousands of corporate decision-makers, available to them whenever they consider what law firm they wish to retain.

Many law firms in this directory take advantage of an opportunity we offer to publish an “enhanced listing,” which includes a wealth of additional informa-tion about the firm. That’s the reason why some listings appear more elaborate than others. Firms of all sizes take advantage of this option to get their name in front of countless in-house attorneys.

Information for this directory was compiled by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. Law firms were asked to provide information as of Jan. 1, 2017, in order to get the most accurate details for the 2017 edition. Please note that unlike with some past editions, diversity numbers are for Massachusetts attorneys only. For additional copies of this directory, please call (617) 451-7300 or visit https://books.lawyersweekly.com.

Thank you. We hope you enjoy and make use of this directory.

Sincerely,

Susan A. Bocamazo, Esq.Publisher/Editor-in-ChiefMassachusetts Lawyers Weekly

MISSION STATEMENTWilmerHale provides legal

representation across a comprehensive range of practice areas that are critical to the success of our clients. We practice at the very top of the legal profession and offer a cutting-edge blend of capabilities that enables us to handle deals and cases of any size and complexity. Today, businesses face greater scrutiny and more “bet the company” issues than ever before. With a practice unsurpassed in depth and scope by any other major firm, we have the ability to anticipate obstacles, seize opportunities and get the case resolved or the deal done-and the experience and know-how to prevent it from being undone.

We are 1,000 lawyers strong, with 12 offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Our practice includes over 500 litigators with unmatched trial, appellate and Supreme Court experience; a preeminent securities law practice with over 200 lawyers; a regulatory practice that includes more than 100 lawyers who have held high-level government positions; an intellectual property practice enriched by the experience of more than 120 attorneys and technology specialists who hold scientific or technical degrees;

more than 230 seasoned corporate lawyers and business counselors; and lawyers who focus on bankruptcy, environmental, labor and employment, real estate and tax matters.

With a heritage that includes our involvement in the foundation of legal aid work early in the 20th century, we have consistently distinguished ourselves as leaders in pro bono representation. Many of our lawyers have played, and continue to play, prominent roles in public service activities of national and international importance-from counseling US presidents to opposing discrimination and defending human rights around the world. Most importantly, our firm stands for a steadfast commitment to quality and excellence in everything we do-a commitment reflected in the continued success of our clients across the globe.

WIDE LITIGATION EXPERIENCE, RECORD OF SUCCESSOur attorneys collectively have been involved in every type of trial and litigation setting in many jurisdictions across the country, resulting in numerous noteworthy trial verdicts and appellate wins.

BARBARA HAYES BUELL

MANAGING PARTNERBarbara Hayes Buell

MISSION STATEMENTWe provide clients with the personal

attention of senior lawyers who have decades of experience and a track record of success. We analyze each matter promptly and with a clear eye, often taking creative approaches others miss. We reject the notion of cookie-cutter representation – doing things because others have always done them. We like to break the mold if a new approach will lead to better results for our clients. We believe in honesty and integrity. We also believe in treating everyone with professionalism and civility. This includes opposing counsel – even if those traits are not always reciprocated. We believe law is a profession, and we are honored to be practitioners in a profession that dates back over a millennium. Founded on the belief that legal representation of the highest caliber and ethical standards should be the hallmark of client service, Smith Duggan represents clients in a wide range of civil matters from commercial disputes and product liability litigation to professional malpractice, construction, divorce, and probate litigation to health care, licensing, and government regulation. Smith Duggan advises large companies, small businesses and individuals with respect to commercial and residential real estate, corporate formation and governance, non-profit, employment, charter school, insurance, and trust and estate planning matters.

�e recent ruling from the Equal EmploymentOpportunity Commission holding that trans-gendered workers can bring bias claims underTitle VII is a “game changer” in employmentdiscrimination law and could lead to claimsunder the act based on sexual orientation.

“�is decision has con�rmed the trend thatwe have seen in the courts, which is that thereis no categorical exclusion in [t he] law forclaims for transgendered and gay employees,”

said Jennifer L. Levi, director of GLAD’sTransgender Rights Project in Boston.

“It is without a doubt a watershed moment,”said Shannon P. Minter, legal director of theNational Center for Lesbian Rights in SanFrancisco. “It is very signi�cant to have theEEOC fully embrace the position that Title VIIcomprehensively and categorically protectstransgendered people.”

�e case involves Mia Macy, a former po-lice detective who applied for a job as a ballis-tics technician for the federal Bureau of

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Macy claims that she received positive feed-

back early in the hiring process, but the situa-tion suddenly changed a�er she disclosed tothe bureau that she was transitioning frommale to female.

She says she was later falsely told that the po-sition had been eliminated for budgetary rea-sons. She learned from a second ATF o�cial thatthe post had been �lled by another candidate.

Macy �led a formal complaint with ATF, ar-guing that it engaged in unlawful “sex stereo-

typing” based on her transgender status in vi-olation of Title VII.

�e agency asserted that she could not bringa sex stereotyping claim under Title VII. Herrecourse, the agency determined, was throughthe internal U.S. Department of Justice systemin place for considering claims based on gen-der identity and sexual orientation bias.

But on appeal, the EEOC reversed, rulingthat transgender discrimination claims fall un-der Title VII’s protections.

Charter-flightsalesmen claim‘material change’By David E. Frank

A Massachusetts three private-jet charter �ight salesmen from so-liciting customers from their pre-vious employer Superior Courtjudge has held that a non-compete,non-solicitation clause barred.

�e defendant salesmen arguedthat the clause was unenforceable, re-lying on the CEO’s departure and thecompany’s possible purchase by an-other business as a “material change”in employment.

But Judge E. Susan Garsh granteda preliminary injunction against theemployees, ruling from the benchthat failure to enforce the agreementwould result in irreparable harm tothe former employer.

“�e prospect of a material changeat some inde�nite time in the future

does not a material change make,” shesaid. “Similarly, the fact that [the plain-ti� employer] has changed leadershipis not evidence here of the kind ofmaterial change from which onewould infer that the covenant not tocompete was rescinded.”

�e case, Sentient Jet LLC v.Mackenzie, et al., is scheduled fortrial in July.

Abandonment and detriment

Max C. Perlman of Hirsch, Roberts& Weinstein, who represented theemployer, said employees frequentlyseek to vitiate non-compete clausesby relying on the material changedoctrine.

“�ese days, it seems that when-ever it is even remotely available toan employee, it’s generally used,” he

said. “It’s one more thing a judgecan rely on to deny an injunc-

tion if he or she is inclined to do so.”But the Boston lawyer said

Garsh’s decision suggests employ-ees will be unsuccessful in cases likethis one, where the defendants hadbeen promoted and given raises.

“�is ruling limits the materialchange argument to situationswhere there is both an abandon-ment of the prior employment re-lationship and some sort of detri-ment su�ered by the employee,”

Local securities lawyers say a 2ndCircuit ruling de�nes for the �rsttime the meaning of “domestictransaction” under a test laid out bythe U.S. Supreme Court in its land-mark 2010 Morrison, et al. v. NationalAustralia Bank Ltd., et al.decision.

In Absolute Activist Value MasterFund Ltd., et al. v. Ficeto, et al., the 2ndU.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heldthat securities not traded on a do-mestic exchange can be subject toSection 10(b) of the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934 only if the

parties incurred irrevocable liabil-ity in the United States, or trans-ferred title here.

�e case arose in response toMorrison, which created a two-prong transactional analysis testlimiting fraud claims to securi-ties listed on domestic exchangesor “domestic transactions in oth-er securities.”

Paul V. Curcio of Adler, Pollock& Sheehan in Providence said theSupreme Court used the term “do-mestic transaction” without real-ly de�ning its meaning.

Morrisonchanged the rules, he

said, but le� securities lawyersuncertain as to how to properlyinterpret the case.

“What Absolute Activistdoes isgives plainti�s a blueprint to usewhen they’re dealing with securi-ties that aren’t traded on a U.S. ex-change, but would still be subjectto federal anti-fraud laws,” he said.“It clari�es portions of Morrisonsothat you now know what a domes-tic transaction is for purposes ofapplication of 10(b).”

Judge to reviewmaterials �rst inlead poison case

By Eric T. Berkman

A plainti� who al-legedly su�ered cognitiveimpairment as a result oflead paint exposure couldnot block discovery of theschool records of his sib-ling who had not su�eredlead poisoning, a Hous-ing Court judgehas ruled.

�e plainti� ar-gued that the infor-mation containedin his sibling’s aca-demic records was irrelevant towhether or not factors other thanlead poisoning may have con-

tributed to his own cognitive im-pairment. Accordingly, the defen-dants and their neuropsychologyexpert should not be allowed to ac-cess them, he contended.

But Judge Je�rey M.Winik disagreed.

“I am satis�ed [that theexpert] has presented suf-�cient basis grounded inscience to allow her to re-view the sibling’s schoolrecords to the extent thatthe records include in-formation pertaining to ‘attention de�cit disor-

der, speci�c learn-ing disabilities, suchas speech delay, andmental illness,’”Winik wrote, deny-ing the plainti�’s

motion to quash the defendants’ sub-poena. “To the extent the school

Dispute over nomineecould wind up at SJC

Seven months a�er the gover-nor tapped Michael J. McCarthyfor a Southern Berkshire DistrictCourt judgeship, politics seems tobe the only thing standing betweenthe Pitts�eld lawyer and a black robe.

An odd set of circumstances in-volving the Governor’s Councilcoupled with an apparent change ofheart on the part of Gov. Deval L.Patrick are holding up McCarthy’sbid to become a judge and, in turn,increasing the likelihood that a �rst-of-its-kind constitutional disputecould soon come to a head inside aMassachusetts courtroom.

“�e fact that things have gottento this point is an outrage,” saidMary-Ellen Manning, a Salemlawyer whose 12-year run on thecouncil ended in January. “Why thegovernor won’t say what caused himto all of a sudden refuse to supporthis own highly quali�ed nominee isa disgrace and is something he owesthe public, McCarthy and the legalcommunity an explanation for.”

Problems �rst surfaced on Sept.26 when McCarthy received a 3-3vote from the council, with Manningabstaining (see sidebar on page 25).

At an Oct. 10 Governor’s Councilmeeting, Manning questioned whythe Patrick administration had notbroken the tie as it had with all oth-er “tied” nominees. Lt. Gov. TimothyP. Murray, who chairs the council,replied that Patrick would act onMcCarthy’s nomination when hedeemed it appropriate to do so.

In response, Manning pointedout that Patrick was just down the

Cyber(in)securityCyber(in)securityRisk for hacking rising at law firms of all sizes

Cybersecurity experts say a recent blockbuster report linking thehacking of more than 100 organizations to the Chinese military isthe latest, though not the first, wake-up call to law firms. But thistime they hope attorneys won’t hit the snooze button.

�e report by cybersecurity �rm Mandiantlinked 141 mostly American organizations, includ-ing four unidenti�ed law �rms, to a military unitoutside Shanghai.

While the report underlined that the biggestrisks are still for international law �rms work-ing on sensitive deals of interest tonation-states, the FBI has warnedthat cyber criminals are increas-ingly targeting small and mid-sizebusinesses. Concurrently, clients are beginningto demand that law �rms have strong anti-hack-ing measures in place before agreeing to repre-sentation.

“Some clients are giving all vendors securityquestionnaires, and including law �rms,” saidSteven R. Chabinsky, senior vice president of le-gal a�airs and chief risk o�cer at the securitystartup CrowdStrike. “If this company is going toprovide you with sensitive information, you haveto answer 40 questions.”

A number of Boston law �rms were contacted for

this story but declined to comment, fearing it woulddraw unwanted attraction from hackers. As one rep-resentative for an international law �rm with a Bostonpresence put it, “We don’t want to wave the red cape”and invite hackers to test the �rm’s system. �e repwent on to say that his �rm takes cybersecurity very

seriously, employing the increasinglycommon practice of having a chief in-formation security o�cer on sta� tocoordinate and oversee e�orts.

“�e managing partner needs to keep this ontheir radar and have daily or weekly meetings todiscuss it,” said Chabinsky, a former practicinglawyer who also spent 17 years in the FBI. “A law�rm needs professional expertise brought in. Justlike a client needs a lawyer to handle a case,lawyers need to rely on outside security per-sonnel.”

Security is a process, Chabinsky added, and itneeds to be treated that way.

Defense bar hails trend

ByDavid E. [email protected]

Recent rulings by two influential trialjudges have found that the treble damagesprovision of the tip statute does not applyretroactively, an issue that courts inMassachusetts have been split on for nearlytwo years.On Feb. 8, Superior Court Judge

Margaret R. Hinkle, who heads theBusiness Litigation Session, determined inHernandez, et al. v.Hyatt Corp. that a 2008amendment to the state’s controversial tiplaw — G.L.c.149, §150 — was intended tobe applied prospectively only.Two months earlier, U.S. District Court

Judge William G. Young, who served aschief of the court from 1997 to 2005, cameto the same conclusion in DiFiore, et al. v.American Airlines, Inc.“There was a point in time [when] the

plaintiffs’ bar had some authority on theirside that made them feel they had leverageover us during settlement discussions,” saidBrigitte M. Duffy, the Boston lawyer whorepresented the defendants in Hernandez.“There’s no question that now having thechief of the [BLS] and a former presidingjudge of the federal court saying whatthey’ve said here carries some extra weight.”Duffy, who practices at Seyfarth Shaw,

added that DiFiore and Hernandez are“evidence of a definite trend which swingsthe pendulum back in our direction. It’sbeen a good couple of months for defenseattorneys in Massachusetts — and we don’talways get good months in wage and hourlitigation.”The full text of the four-page Hernandez

ruling,LawyersWeeklyNo.12-019-10, can be

ordered at www.masslawyersweekly.com.DiFiore, Lawyers Weekly No. 02-304-09, canalso be found on LawyersWeekly’s website.

‘Confused’judgesScott E. Adams of Groveland, who

represented the plaintiffs in Hernandez, saidthe uncertainty on retroactivity started in2005 when the Supreme Judicial Court heldin Weidmann v. The Bradford Group thattreble damages could be awarded only on afinding that an employer had willfullycommitted an infraction.That test was struck down by Chapter 80

of the Acts of 2008, which madeMassachusetts the first state in the countryto impose automatic treble damages forwage and hour law violations. Whatremained unclear was whether theLegislature intended for damages to applyto cases that pre-dated the passage of thebill.

Adams said judges across the state havebeen split on the question ever since. Forexample, he said, Superior Court JudgesRaymond J.Brassard and Leila R.Kern haveruled opposite of Hinkle and Young.“These are significant matters of law that

have some important philosophicalquestions underlying them, and there isclearly a problem with the implementationand enforcement of them,” Adams said.“There are a number of judges in

Few feats are more professionally satisfying thanwinning a case that others declared “unwinnable.”

But being able to break new legal ground may besomething lawyers treasure even more.

Boston’s Herbert L. Holtz tasted victory in both re-spects in 2014.

In May, Holtz successfully defended MassachusettsGeneral Hospital and its parent company, PartnersHealthCare, in a seven-figure gender discriminationsuit brought by orthopedic surgeon Nina Shervin. Thedoctor contended that hospital leadership had wrong-fully placed her on probation during her residency andlater refused to offer her a full-time position becauseshe complained about bias.

A federal jury rejected Shervin’s discrimination andretaliation claims after a six-week trial in which Holtzargued that Shervin was a promising doctor who hadfailed because of performance issues.

Jack Connors, former Partners HealthCare chair-man of the board, recalls that people thought the casecould not be won.

“Not only did [Holtz] make our case, but he blewsome pretty impressive holes in their case,” Connorssays.

Holtz topped the Shervin win last August when heconvinced Superior Court Judge Jeffrey A. Locke torecognize a new exception to the privacy restrictionsof the Health Insurance Portability and AccountabilityAct. The exception allows health care providers to re-spond publicly when a patient complains to the mediaabout the adequacy of the care he received.

Holtz notched that win in a high-profile battle be-tween his client, Steward Health Care, and The BostonGlobe.

In looking back on the cases, Holtz emphasizes thecritical contributions of the teams of lawyers thatworked with him.

• • •

Q. What were your biggest challenges in the Shervincase?

A. My biggest challenge was humanizing very finepeople who were otherwise made out [by theplaintiff ’s counsel] to be the boogiemen. I had tomanage these individuals’ personal concerns andrisks. For example, they subpoenaed Jack Connors.He was called onto the witness stand to providewhat the plaintiff believed were party admissions.They weren’t; they were hearsay stuff, water-coolergossip. When you have someone like the chairman

of the board who’s called in for thatpurpose, it is a high-wire act for thelawyer to both defend and protecthim and manage your way throughthose shoals to the other side whereyou are simply getting competent evi-dence by first-hand witnesses.

Q. Does the Shervin case have any signifi-cance beyond the resolution of the dis-pute between the parties?

A. There was a macro import to the case.Always overlaying the case was thefact that these employment cases havebeen ratcheted up to a bigger and big-ger economic model. Recent cases thathave been successfully brought bythese particular plaintiffs’ lawyerswere all seven figures. There was ahuge sea change post-Shervin. Thetide needed to be turned. Shervinturned it because an employer decid-ed to stand its ground, withstood sixweeks of a federal trial, and got a juryto come back and say, “There’s nothere there.”

Q. While Shervin was an employment dis-crimination case and the StewardHealth Care case involved your client’s at-tempt to view materials a Boston Globe re-porter had gathered for a series on thestate’s mental health system, do you see anysimilarities in the two actions?

A. Both cases were about fairness. In Shervin, youwanted fair treatment for the chiefs at Mass. Gen-eral, the chairman of the board of PartnersHealthCare, and all the doctors who are trying toserve patients. In Steward Health Care, you had ahospital system that treated a patient and the pa-tient is selectively disclosing some medical infor-mation [to a newspaper reporter] and withholdingother information. All you want is fairness.

Q. Did you realize when you took the Steward HealthCare case that you would need to craft new law?

A. I knew it was going to be tricky. I knew that I did notwant to bring a case with a whiff of prior restraint.And I knew that HIPAA is a wickedly complicatedregulatory scheme. But I also knew that HIPAA is aprocedural regulation and that it does not createprivileges. That’s the big misconception aboutHIPAA. There are exceptions to the overarching[privacy] protections provided by it. I had a gutfeeling that there might be an exception I might be

able to exploit, but I had noidea that there was no lawwhatsoever on the proposi-tion that I was urging the

court to support. In the end, it was perfectly sensi-ble, and it goes to fairness. A patient should not beable to use HIPAA as a sword.

Q. How do you answer critics who say the StewardHealth Care ruling will chill the willingness of pa-tients to discuss their care with journalists?

A.What we’re really talking about in all these cases isthe safety of patients and the efficient delivery ofhealth care. In this case, we had a highly vulnerablepopulation, people suffering from all forms of men-tal illness. To the contrary, if The Globe was allowedto go forward on an incomplete record based on se-lective disclosures slanted against the [state’s]largest health care provider for mental illness,where would the chill set in? The chill would set inwith those people who might otherwise not go toSteward Health Care because they had seen an in-complete, slanted, distorted recitation of what Stew-ard does. Steward does good work. The Globeshould have wanted a complete record. Our inter-ests were aligned. We wanted to comment.

Diane Bissonnette Moes ascribes to the idea that it is one thing to be a mentor and another to be a sponsor, a concept one of her own sponsors shared in what she calls “a really en-lightening moment.” Lots of lawyers will sit down for a half hour, offer some advice to a young attorney and call themselves a mentor.

“But a sponsor says, ‘Come with me,’” she ex-plains, taking the younger lawyer along on business meetings or to court, or making calls on their be-half to get them involved in a civic association.

“It’s sticking your neck out for the people you believe in,” she says.

Moes abides by that distinction in her own efforts to guide the next gen-eration of lawyers, both at her own firm and during her eight years as an adjunct professor at her alma mater, Suffolk University Law School. Part of her desire to be a sponsor comes from her own experience going to law school after having spent sever-al years in the health care industry — both as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. and vice president of a hospi-tal — and entering law practice as a

first-year associate at age 36. “It was a very humbling experi-

ence,” Moes admits. When she entered the law, she

stuck with what she knew best: health care. Today, she counsels health law clients ranging from hospitals to physician practices and provider net-works to vendors.

When not practicing, networking or sponsor-ing, Moes gives back to her community.

A member of the Boston Bar Associ-ation Health Law Steering Com-

mittee and the leadership council of the Connors Cen-ter for Women’s Health and Gender Biology, she formerly served on the board of UMa-ss Memorial Health Care, the Health Alliance Hospital and the University of Massachu-setts Board of Trustees. She recently joined the board of Community Servings, an orga-nization that prepares and deliv-ers more than 9,000 meals each week to individuals homebound with serious illnesses. MLW
