The Boston Magazine Top Lawyers list is extensively peer-reviewed and curated to bring together the top quality attorneys in Boston, making it easier for anyone seeking an attorney.

Attorney Sheryl Dennis was quoted in Massachusetts Lawyer Weekly this week. The article discusses the feasibility of remote work from the viewpoint of a number of major law firms in the Boston area.

If you are in the office, you are much more invested in the firm and the people around you. It really is past time for people to get back in the office. It’s like ‘Casual Friday’ turned into an ‘Always Casual’ kind of thing. To some people it’s almost gotten to the point where it’s a ‘right’ to work from home.  – Attorney Sheryl Dennis

Jonathan Fields will be speaking at MCLE’s Inheritance, Trusts & Divorce conference on 11/14/2022. The program is part of Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education’s support of attorneys to stay ahead of legal trends and complex issues that they face in their practice.

Estate planning attorneys and divorce attorneys will inevitably face complicated issues revolving around inheritance, trusts and divorce. These issues can often get complex very quickly. Estate planning attorneys should be prepared to understand how to protect assets in case of divorce. Attorneys should also be aware of how the courts will value a trust interest in divorce for the purposes of support or property division, and what recent legal decisions are likely to influence the outcome of these cases.

The MCLE program gives attorneys an opportunity to learn from experts in divorce, estate planning and finance who can answer many of the questions you will see in your practice.
