FROM THE PUBLISHER
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 England 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 information 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, 2014, in order to get the most accurate details for the 2014 edition. Please note that unlike with some past editions, diversity numbers are for Massachusetts attorneys only.
We put a lot of work into this directory, but we are always open to suggestions as to how to proceed in the future. You can contact me directly with feedback ([email protected]). For advertising information, please get in touch with our vice president of sales, Charlene Smith ([email protected]). And if you are interested in our New England In-House publication, please feel free to get in touch with the vice president of editorial, Henriette Campagne ([email protected]).
For additional copies of this directory, please call (617) 451-7300 or visit http://books.lawyersweekly.com.
Thank you. We hope you enjoy and make use of this directory.

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

In today’s world of instantmessaging,mobiletechnologies, virtual worldsand social media, thedifficulties trademarkowners face protecting theirmarks is well beyond whatthe architects of the
Constitution intended when they drafted theFirst Amendment.Amyriad of legal interpretations of decades-
old laws are creating serious trademarkenforcement problems for owners of well-knowntrademarks.The law isn’t always on the trademark
owners’ side, particularly if a trademark is usedfor expressive speech purposes, as a plethoraof courts continue to rely on a 21-year-old test— the “Rogers Test”— first adopted by the2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, todetermine whether use of a literary titleviolates the LanhamAct.The Rogers Test was based on a landmark
case involving actress Ginger Rogers who filedsuit against the producers of a film entitled“Ginger and Fred.”Rogers alleged that the title
trademark owners have failedto prove that the use of theirmark in artistic worksconstitutes infringement,consumer confusion ordilution of their brand.In 2006, ESS Entertainment
2000 filed suit against RockStar Videos. ESS, a strip cluboperator in East Los Angeles,claimed videogame makerRock Star was liable for tradedress infringement and forviolating unfair competitionlaws.Rock Star created the
fictional role-playing game“Grand Theft Auto: SanAndreas,” which takes place infictional cities based on realCalifornia neighborhoods. Toaccurately depict those locales,Rock Star photographed the types of venuesused in the game, including the plaintiff ’s club,the “Play Pen,” and then created a fictional “PigPen” in “East Los Santos.”The court found that, under the Rogers Test,
the use of the plaintiff ’s mark was relevant to
the Play Pen is somehow behind the Pig Penor that it sponsors Rock Star’s product.”The court found that no reasonable consumer
would be led to believe that ESS produced thevideo game or that a video gamemaker such asRock Star operates a strip club.

Decades-old trademark precedentstill puts owners at risk
By Jennifer Gallop
Increasingly,Massachu-setts public charities —such as schools, nursinghomes, foundations andchurches— are selling theirproperty, paying off theirdebt, and closing up shop
or permanently changing their activities. Theproblem is that many of these entities do notknow that they are required to notify the at-torney general before doing so.Under G.L.c. 180, §8A(c), when a public
charity transfers all or substantially all ofits assets and materially changes the na-ture of its activity (usually dissolving), itmust provide at least 30 days notice to theattorney general.The statute was enacted in the wake of
Attorney General v. Hahnemann Hospital,397 Mass. 820 (1986), in which a hospital
sought to sell its build-ing and amend itsarticles of organ-ization totransform it-self into agrant-maker.The Hahne-
mann courtrecognized thatto allow such asale and profoundchange in the charity’sactivity without review bythe attorney general could result in inap-propriate departures by the board fromthe charity’s mission.The AG’s Non-Profit Organiza-
tions/Public Charities Division, or NPODivision, is the department that receivesand reviews all written notices of suchtransactions. In an effort to better informthe public and provide consistency in theinformation submitted, the NPO Divi-sion reached out to members of its advi-sory committee for assistance in develop-ing new Section 8A(c) notice guidance.The guidelines have been posted on the
AG’s website atwww.mass.gov/ago/charities and are lo-cated under “Charitable Organizations”and “AG’s Guidelines on Notice Require-ments of G.L.c. 180, §8A(c).”
After providing a brief legal back-ground of the statute, the guidelines lay
out a three-prong analysis as to when thestatute applies to a transaction: (i) confirm-ing public charity status, (ii) describing whatconstitutes “all or substantially all” of thecharity’s assets, and (iii) identifying a“materi-al change in the nature of [its] activities.”The guidelines go on to outline the five
components required for adequate notice:• a description of the charity’s document-ed decision-making process;
• details relating to the assets involved, in-cluding their history and any restrictionson their use;
• demonstration of the fair market valueof consideration being paid for the as-sets;
• identification of the purchaser or trans-feree, its relationship to the charity, andevaluation of the arm’s length nature ofthe proposed transaction; and

MISSION STATEMENTOur core purpose is to provide superior legal services to our clients, but our philosophy is that superior legal services alone are not enough. Beyond finding the best legal solutions for any single deal, transaction or case, we find those that are focused on helping clients achieve their overall business and growth goals, and that satisfy their need for practical, cost-effective legal services. This philosophy requires superior knowledge of the law and a deep understanding of what works in an ever-changing market, but it also encourages an entrepreneurial spirit, proactive, creative problem
solving and the highest levels of client service. It’s a philosophy that our lawyers embrace — and that today’s legal service buyers demand. Our clients appreciate the quality of our lawyers, their cumulative decades of experience in a variety of industries, and the attention our partners, associates and staff give them.

LARGEST LAW FIRMS | 2014 69
understanding the client’s business and bringing value to each client transaction. We believe our clients deserve distinctly personal attention, so we match our clients with the best lawyers to fit their unique needs. This fosters a close working relationship that allows clients to meet both their legal needs and business goals. In this relationship our attorneys are guided by the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. Taking a practical look at our client’s problem, thoroughly explaining legal issues and exploring all available alternatives, ensure that our client’s legal resources are used productively. Our clients find that this approach can be just as valuable as our legal expertise. To increase our efficiency and value to our clients, we continue to make significant investments in the advanced tools and software necessary in the management of large legal projects. Our commitment to technology allows us to conduct paperless trials, manage complex databases, organize cases, and develop successful trial presentations.
