In recent weeks, Boston has firmly positioned itself on the legal industry’s map, with three BigLaw firms establishing significant new offices in the city. This expansion is not just a response to local growth but a strategic move into a market buoyed by dynamic sectors such as technology, healthcare, life sciences, and finance.

Over the past decade, Boston’s legal market has drawn nearly 40 firms, with Blank Rome LLP, Paul Hastings LLP, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP being the latest to announce their presence. These firms are the 14th, 15th, and 16th to set roots in the city since the COVID-19 pandemic began, underscoring Boston’s allure to major national and global players in the legal field.
The influx, as noted by Jennifer Moss, managing director at recruiting firm Major Lindsey & Africa, is largely due to Boston’s robust economic engines. “Recent BigLaw moves show Boston is ‘clearly on the map,’ not only because of the sophistication of legal work but also due to the thriving industries here,” Moss explained.
