Stephen A. Mackenzie

Mr. Mackenzie is recognized for his ability to navigate intricate financial challenges in family law. He has significant trial experience—including numerous multi-day trials—and is particularly well-versed in the resolution of matters involving complex compensation structures and exotic financial instruments. His practice is defined by a commitment to achieving equitable results through a nuanced, fact-specific analysis of each client’s unique financial landscape.

Mr. Mackenzie has served as counsel on numerous cases before the Massachusetts Appeals Court. Most recently, he successfully represented the wife in De Felipe v. Suwwan, a case involving the division of closely held securities and equity compensation. In this matter, the Appeals Court affirmed a 50-percent division of certain closely held securities and clarified that the Baccanti “time-rule” formula does not automatically apply to all unvested assets, particularly those generating immediate income or dividends.
