Out-of-state law firms regularly engage Butters Brazilian LLP as local counsel in matters pending across Massachusetts, including in both state and federal courts. This trust reflects our strong reputation, deep litigation experience, and the resources we bring to each case.

We tailor our role to meet the needs of lead counsel in any given matter. In some cases, we provide traditional local counsel services, such as advising on Massachusetts law, court rules, and local practices; assisting with filings and service of process; covering court appearances; and facilitating depositions. In others, we take on a more substantive role, working closely with lead counsel to actively participate in the representation and advancement of the client’s case.

Patrick Hanley has assisted in a number of similar local-counsel matters in recent years.  He has prepared and obtained pro hac vice appearances for out-of-state counsel to work with our firm on local litigation and appellate matters and has provided guidance and clarity to Clients regarding Massachusetts Law.
