Established in 1899, Peabody & Arnold LLP is one of Boston's oldest law firms and a leading regional firm with offices in Boston and Providence. We have attorneys who are admitted to practice in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island. We specialize in civil litigation and insurance services, including case strategy, discovery and motion practice, arbitration and mediation, trial practice, and appellate practice. We have some of the most experienced and capable trial lawyers in New England. We handle all types of civil claims and suits, with a special focus on insurance-related matters, commercial litigation, defense of large self-insurers, and technology-related litigation. We litigate insurance coverage, bad faith, consumer protection, rescission, and declaratory judgment actions. We defend claims against insured judges, lawyers, corporate officials, insurance agents, doctors, nurses, architects, engineers, counselors, and other professionals. We act as national and local counsel to leading drug and medical device companies. We conduct employment, patent/IP, freeze-out, product liability, personal injury, toxic tort, and contract litigation for corporate clients. We handle matters involving banks and credit unions in failed-institution, default, bankruptcy, collection, employment, and lender-liability litigation. We litigate the full range of contract and tort claims on behalf of businesses and individuals. We act as national and regional counsel to a number of major insurers. We provide coverage advice and monitor high-profile litigation. We represent insurers in settlement negotiations, in mediations and in resolution of coverage disputes. In addition to litigation and insurance services, we provide many of the other services of a general practice firm. We counsel individuals and families in personal and estate tax planning, probate and trust administration, and general business and real estate matters. We represent entrepreneurs in the creation and maintenance of new ventures. We advise clients on debt and equity financing, mergers and acquisitions, partnership and joint venture agreements, and succession planning for family or closely-held businesses. In addition to our work for larger businesses, we work with early stage and medium-sized companies that do not employ in-house lawyers, providing advice on corporate governance, employment issues, technology transfer, intellectual property protection, leasing, contract issues, and other business issues. Our clients are insurance companies and their insureds, self-insurers, corporations, banks, credit unions, entrepreneurs, and other individuals. We commit to provide to all of our clients work that meets the highest standards of quality, responsiveness, and ethics. We commit to provide to all of our clients the advice and service needed to achieve optimum results cost effectively. Our firm is organized into focused practice areas designed to support most efficiently the needs of our clients.
Peabody & Arnold LLP practices law in the following areas and works with its clients to provide the best possible legal solutions.
Peabody & Arnold LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
Peabody & Arnold hires associates from a wide variety of backgrounds and with diverse interests, primarily from top-tier law schools. On-campus interviews are generally one-on-one; callback interviews consist of twenty-minute sessions with various members of the hiring committee (a mix of partners and associates). The interviews are very casual, targeted towards seeing if "your personality matches with the firm." Peabody & Arnold looks for applicants with outstanding academic credentials but, "more importantly, with poise and interesting things to say." Demonstrating a specific interest in Peabody & Arnold, by doing some prior research on the firm for example, is an important plus for interview purposes. One contact observed that "if a candidate is applying to work at Peabody & Arnold along with every other firm in the city, there is a perception that you are not genuinely interested in P&A. Given our firm's culture, an applicant strongly pursuing Goodwin or Ropes would have some explaining to do to convince us that he or she is also strongly interested in us." Interviewees are advised to "not try to anticipate questions, and do not come prepared with canned answers. Just be honest, genuine, and let us learn about you by acting like yourself. A good applicant, and a good lawyer, can think on his or her feet and provide an intelligent answer to an unexpected question."
Peabody & Arnold has a pro bono committee, headed by two partners. Although hours spent on pro bono work are not counted towards an associate's billable total, the firm's unwritten policy is that those hours are "taken into account," we were told. The firm has a strong presence in Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, and many Peabody attorneys also do pro bono work for tax exempt organizations and bar associations.
Becky Wilson (commercial litigation/labor), Jennifer Lauro (employment/labor), Deborah Griffin (corporate/litigation), and Linda Dalby (personal law) are among the prominent women attorneys at Peabody & Arnold. While there "seems to be" approximately an equal number of male and female income partners at the firm, "there are only a handful of female equity partners," we were told. The proportion of women associates at the firm, moreover, is low, but recent summer classes have been female-heavy. The women partners at Peabody have begun a program called "The Women's Dine-Around," in which, each month, one partner and three or four female associates have lunch at a nearby restaurant. "At these informal luncheons, the women talk about partnership prospects, client and business development, etc.," we were told. In addition, the female associates and partners sponsor women's marketing events (involving women clients only), one of which recently took place at the Museum of Fine Arts. Maternity leave at the firm is generous and flexible. Some women work part-time; however, one contact reported "having heard that women who take advantage of the firm's part-time policy to raise a family are not considered for partnership." (According to a firm spokesperson, Peabody & Arnold is "currently developing a part-time policy that will address part-time issues and partnership.") Peabody & Arnold provides no assistance with day care. Macey Russell (commercial litigation), Anil Khosla (corporate), and the aforementioned Linda Dalby are the firm's three minority partners. Peabody & Arnold is "taking steps" to recruit and hire more minorities, we were told. Peabody "clearly has a problem retaining minorities and it is working hard at this because it is a concern to many in the partnership," according to one insider. The firm recently hired a part-time consultant to work with the partnership and the firm as a whole on diversity issues.
Summer associates at Peabody are treated to four or five special social functions during the course of the summer. These events typically include a Red Sox game, a concert at Harborlights, and a dinner at a partner's home. All of the events are casual, and summer associates are encouraged to bring spouses/SOs. Peabody also sponsors an outing each summer at the Museum of Science with a BBQ and an open bar, to which all the firm's attorneys and their families are invited.
