Tell us a bit about your recent accomplishments.
Over the past five years, we have achieved strong, sustained growth. Our gross revenue increased by nearly 60%, from approximately $130 million in 2020 to more than $206 million in 2025, while our attorney roster grew nearly 40% to approximately 275 lawyers across 11 offices.
Although that growth has been firmwide, we have continued to invest in Connecticut. In 2024, we relocated and fully redesigned our Hartford office as a modern, technology-enabled workplace, and we are preparing to move our Stamford office into a newly redesigned space in fall 2026.
We also have advanced our firmwide innovation strategy, including the integration of AI tools to improve efficiency, collaboration and client service. At the same time, our culture continues to earn recognition, including 12 Hartford Business Journal Best Places to Work in Connecticut designations and top rankings in Vault’s law firm quality-of-life and workplace culture surveys.
What are your plans for future growth?
We will continue the growth strategy that has served us well: investing in our people, technology and facilities while expanding in key markets. Our focus remains on growing our platform, enhancing client service through innovation, attracting top legal talent and investing meaningfully in Connecticut and our other office communities.
How is your organization involved in the community?
Our lawyers serve on the boards of dozens of nonprofit and cultural organizations, including United Way, Hartford Stage, Junior Achievement, The Bushnell and MetroHartford Alliance. The firm ranks among the nation’s top 100 law firms for pro bono legal work, and has partnered with Harc for nearly 40 years.
