Debra Squires-Lee, partner in the firm’s Litigation Department, co-chair of the Business Litigation and Professional Liability Practice Groups, was quoted in a Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly article entitled, “Snap judgments: Local lawyers react to study showing gender-based disparity in partner pay.”

From the article:

And law firms need to ensure women get the origination credit they deserve.”
