FOR THE ISSUES OF LIFE IN LAW 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. This 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 our New England In-House newspaper. 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 a deal we offer to publish an “enhanced listing,” which includes a wealth of additional information about the firm. That’s the reason why some listings in the directory appear more elaborate than others. Firms of all sizes take advantage of this option, getting 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, 2012, in order to get the most accurate details for the 2012 edition. Also, in the 2011 edition of the directory, numbers provided by law firms regarding minority lawyers ranged from firm-wide totals to number for Massachusetts only. For the 2012 edition, 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 (susan.bocamazo@ lawyersweekly.com). 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 Vice President of Editorial Henriette Campagne ([email protected]).

Thank you for choosing Boston and the Hynes for your upcoming event, which will be in one of the top convention centers in the world. That’s not an empty boast: the Hynes recently earned the International Association of Congress Centres' (AIPC) gold standard, the highest certification level a convention facility can achieve under AIPC's strict guidelines. In fact, both the Hynes and the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in South Boston are now only the fourth and fifth in North America and the 14th and 15th in the world to achieve AIPC's gold standard. During your event, we hope you see what sets us apart and makes us among the best meeting and convention destinations in the world. AIPC's certification process examines 10 key areas of a convention center's operations, including customer service, quality of facilities and operations, employee relations, health, safety, security and emergency response, financial integrity, community relations, environmental responsibility, and industry and supplier relations. The Hynes, located in the heart of Boston’s dynamic Back Bay, offers visitors a high-tech, leading edge facility with a flexible floor plan that can accommodate events of all types and sizes. Conveniently located and in close proximity to Boston’s most popular hotels, historical sites, and tourist attractions, the Hynes boasts 360,000 square feet of handicap-accessible space, including 193,000 square feet of exhibit space, a 25,000-square-foot ballroom, and 35 meeting rooms.
