Who We Are

Burns & Farrey, P.C. has spent 75 years handling litigation matters across New England, and we're building the next generation of litigation defense right now. We've been recognized as one of the Best Law Firms by U.S. News, ranked in Chambers USA, and named to New England Super Lawyers — but our people are what sets us apart.

We are looking for attorneys at every stage of their career — from associates ready to learn the craft of trial work to experienced litigators who can take on cases independently and mentor others. Whether you're building your foundation or leading from the front, you'll work directly with a tight-knit team that takes pride in the quality of its work.

What You'll Need

1+ years of experience at a litigation firm, preferably in insurance defense

Licensed to practice law in Massachusetts

Strong organizational, research, writing, and analytical skills

For senior candidates: demonstrated leadership or mentorship experience

A plus: state or federal clerkship experience, or admission to the New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, or Connecticut bar

Must live within commuting distance of Boston, MA or Marlborough, MA

What You'll Do

Handle your own case portfolio, meet with clients, attend hearings, conduct depositions, and guide strategic defense choices. More experienced attorneys will also serve as a resource for associates — offering guidance and mentorship as they grow into seasoned litigators.
