For Bowditch & Dewey, the answers start from your objectives-growing a business, protecting assets, helping a community. Every aspect of our firm and our practice is designed to help clients achieve their objectives as effectively and efficiently as possible. Within the pages of this web site we offer an overview of our capabilities. But to find out how well we can really help you, there's no substitute for an in-depth conversation with a B&D lawyer.

For companies facing the challenges of the 1990's, what is the value of a law firm's service to business over the previous eighty years? Plenty--if it's a firm whose resources and focus have stayed in tune with the evolving needs of its clients.

For years Bowditch & Dewey lawyers have helped guide New England businesses and families through periods of conflict and change. We've helped clients expand their opportunities, protect their investments, and deal with changing circumstances in virtually every industry and area of the region. In the process, we and our clients have grown far beyond central New England and far beyond the limitations of traditional law firm approaches. Today, with clients in 33 states and several countries, and with a practice rich in complex litigation and innovative transactions, B&D has become a firm of broad perspective and uncommon versatility.

This ongoing evolution helps our clients both by strengthening our hand in general business and financial representation and by extending our capabilities in emerging practice areas. We're among the region's leaders in environmental, ERISA, health care, intellectual property and international law--all areas of consequence to growing numbers of entrepreneurial companies.

Along with our service to business, we continue to operate one of New England's largest and most respected trust and estate practices. Our commitment to the needs of families, nonprofit organizations and community groups has been unwavering ever since the firm's founding in 1914. We are proud of our long service to families and charitable causes and of the strong performance achieved by portfolios under our management.
