Hinckley Allen is proud to announce it has been named to Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly’s inaugural list of “In the Lead: Legacy Law Firms,” a distinction celebrating firms that have thrived for 25 years or more while navigating the evolving legal landscape. This recognition honors firms that have demonstrated staying power, strategic growth, and an unwavering commitment to client service.
Founded in 1906 by Theodore Francis Green, Hinckley Allen was established with a vision to serve the legal needs of a growing state through integrity, professionalism, and public service. That founding principle continues to guide the firm’s work today, as it delivers sophisticated legal counsel to individuals, businesses, and institutions across the country.
Now in its 119th year, Hinckley Allen has grown to over 170 attorneys across offices in seven states. Under the leadership of Managing Partner Patrick A. Rogers, the firm continues to achieve record financial results.
Over the decades, Hinckley Allen has played a central role in some of the most complex and high-profile matters in the region and beyond, including litigation in Boston’s Big Dig project that resulted in a landmark settlement, permitting the nation’s first offshore wind farm, and securing a historic $34.5 million recovery in a whistleblower retaliation case.
Looking ahead, Hinckley Allen continues to expand its national presence. Recent moves include entering the Florida market through a combination with a well-regarded construction and business law firm, and bolstering its Midwest footprint with the addition of eleven attorneys in the St. Louis Metro area. The firm is also investing in legal technologies and integrating artificial intelligence in a thoughtful and ethical manner to enhance client service and operational efficiency.
Through its cross-disciplinary structure, commitment to inclusion, and forward-thinking culture, Hinckley Allen remains focused on building a firm for the future. With initiatives such as the DEI Committee, Women’s Forum, wellness programming, and a hybrid work model that supports work-life balance, the firm is cultivating an environment where attorneys and staff can thrive.
This recognition by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly affirms Hinckley Allen’s long-standing impact and reinforces its continued momentum. The firm is proud to be honored among the region’s most respected institutions and looks forward to shaping the next chapter of growth, innovation, and leadership in the legal profession.
