Our History

Since opening our Boston office just 15 years ago, we have carefully and deliberately expanded, adding well-respected and well-established legal talent in key areas of expertise. Some of Boston’s most well-respected and well-established legal talent, many of whom came to us from the region’s largest and most well-known law firms, also joined Pierce Atwood for its “one-firm” culture that rewards attorneys for teamwork and collaboration.

That strategic growth includes successfully expanding the firm's Boston-based Intellectual Property Practice Group,  which is now ranked in the top-20 of the largest IP law firms in Massachusetts, as published in the Boston Business Journal.

With our continued growth and recently expanded office space, Pierce Atwood’s Boston office has become a significant player in the Greater Boston community, well-known as a high-quality, responsive, nimble, and entrepreneurial multiservice law firm.
