Who We Are

A Simple Approach. Consistently Delivered.

At Murtha Cullina, our lawyers know the challenges facing businesses and industries. We also know that standing up to these challenges requires legal representation that isn’t mired in minutia. It must focus — first and foremost — on your business goals. After all, winning means nothing if it doesn’t advance your strategic interests.

That business-focused practicality forms the core of every relationship we nurture with our clients. The partnerships we forge reflect the incredible synergy that results from hands-on client service, mutual respect, an understanding of our clients’ vision, and an unwavering dedication to effective, efficient advocacy. It’s a straightforward commitment that we’ve followed for more than 75 years, and it isn’t going anywhere. It’s precisely the reason why so many clients return to Murtha time after time, decade after decade. 

Northeast Presence. Global Reach.

While our roots date back to 1936, we prefer to look forward. That’s how our reputation for excellence has taken hold not just in New England, but across the U.S. and around the world. As a member of the Lex Mundi world ready network of independent law firms, we seamlessly address international business interests by collaborating with lawyers in more than 125 countries. 

Our reach mirrors not only where our clients do business, but where they interact with each other and where they turn for the latest information about their industry. Murtha lawyers are thought leaders. We regularly share our insights with members of the business community, lawmakers and other professionals by conducting in-person and online presentations, writing articles and serving as a resource to journalists covering timely legal topics.

Being a mid-sized firm with full-service capabilities gives our clients the advantage of partner-guided experience, extensive cross-discipline depth, personal attention and responsiveness. That’s important when a routine health care matter evolves into a complex regulatory issue with litigation exposure, or when evaluating an intellectual property portfolio triggers a comprehensive due diligence effort in preparation for a merger or acquisition. With collegial teams scaled to match matters large or small, routine or complex, we pride ourselves on being nimble, adaptable and able to easily pivot.
