Shipman & Goodwin Welcomes New Attorneys to Boston Office
BOSTON - Shipman & Goodwin LLP is excited to announce the addition of 17 attorneys to its Boston office, marking a significant milestone in the firm's expansion across the Northeast region. This strategic move will greatly enhance Shipman's capabilities and strengthen its position within the legal landscape of Massachusetts.
The newly joined attorneys, who were previously with the esteemed law firm Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers, P.C., will now operate from Shipman’s modern office located at 101 Huntington Avenue in the Prudential Center. Their integration into Shipman signifies a collaborative effort aimed at delivering exceptional legal services to clients.
Leander Dolphin, the Managing Partner of Shipman, expressed his enthusiasm by stating, "Bringing this team of talented lawyers and professionals into the Shipman family is a natural next step in our strategic growth. This expansion deepens our capabilities in key practice areas while enhancing the value we deliver to clients every day." This sentiment underscores the firm's commitment to evolving its practice to meet changing client needs.
With this expansion, Shipman now boasts over 160 attorneys working across numerous offices, allowing for a considerable increase in its Am Law NLJ 500 ranking, potentially by 60 places. This growth not only reflects a robust commitment to client service but also demonstrates the increasing demand for comprehensive legal solutions.
The firm is well-positioned to broaden the scope of services available to its clients, particularly in areas such as trusts and estates, corporate law, real estate, and family businesses. Melissa Sydney, who will take on the role of co-managing partner for the Boston office, remarked on the benefits of this move by stating, "Our clients will continue to receive the personalized attention they expect while gaining access to a wider array of resources and expertise across New England and beyond. This is a win-win for our client relationships and service delivery."
Shipman & Goodwin has a long-standing reputation for the diversity of its client base in Massachusetts, and with this latest expansion, clients can look forward to a strengthened ability to meet their evolving needs throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and adjacent areas.
Jeff Hart, a founding member of TBHR and co-managing partner of the Boston office at Shipman, emphasized the collaborative spirit shared by the attorneys from both firms. He noted, "We are committed to legal excellence, and our cultural synergies only enhance our ability to serve clients effectively now and in the future."
The choice of location in the Prudential Center places Shipman right in the heart of a vibrant and bustling business district, known for housing some of the most prominent companies in finance, real estate, and technology. Their spacious 10,000-square-foot office is designed to promote synergy and innovation, aligning perfectly with the firm’s commitment to a client-first philosophy.
This new Boston office, as well as the incoming attorneys, signifies not just growth but a strategic commitment by Shipman to become a top destination for leading legal talent in the Northeast. The firm’s offices across Hartford, New York, and now Boston will collaborate closely, ensuring that clients receive an integrated approach to legal services across a variety of sectors.
