Counsel for Out-of-State Firms | Fitch Law Partners LLP

Local Counsel to Out-of-State Law Firms

Because of our reputation, experience, resources, and focus on litigation, out-of-state law firms large and small regularly call on FITCH to serve as local counsel when they have matters pending in Massachusetts, including lawsuits in our state and federal courts.

We are glad to fill the specific role that meets the needs of lead counsel in a particular case. Sometimes this involves our providing traditional local-counsel services, such as advising on local laws, rules, customs, and personalities; assisting with court filings and service of pleadings; covering court appearances; and hosting depositions. Often we are asked to play a more substantive role, actively participating with lead counsel in the representation of the client in the lawsuit.
