Davis Malm is a premier full-service New England firm providing sophisticated, cost-effective legal representation to local, regional, national, and international public and private businesses, institutions, and individuals in a wide spectrum of business sectors and legal matters. Since its founding in 1979, lawyers at Davis Malm have practiced at the top level of the profession delivering successful results to clients through direct partner involvement, responsive client service, and practical and creative problem solving. Ninety percent of eligible Davis Malm lawyers are Martindale-Hubbell “AV” rated, the highest bestowed rating. Chambers and Partners selected three of Davis Malm’s lawyers for inclusion in its 2011 Chambers USA directory of recommended law firms and lawyers, including Michael Malm, who is involved in M&A and real estate transactions, George Chimento, a shareholder in the benefits area, and David Rapaport, a trial lawyer who concentrates in employment law. The firm’s employment practice was also selected by Chambers for inclusion in the directory. Davis Malm clients interviewed by Chambers summed up the firm as: “Bright and thorough lawyers who work to the highest standard, both inside and outside the courtroom” and individual attorneys as “a smart, experienced lawyer and an excellent negotiator” and “a well-prepared and sophisticated lawyer with an impressive reputation.” Practice Areas and Groups Davis Malm has six core areas of practice: Business, Compensation and Benefits, Employment, Litigation, Real Estate and Environmental, and Trusts and Estates. The firm’s business lawyers are involved on a day-to-day basis in all matters, from international acquisitions for a NYSE-traded client to working with entrepreneurs in life sciences and technology who are licensing technologies from MIT, Harvard, and other centers of learning. Davis Malm’s compensation and benefits attorneys have expertise in the complex U.S. regulations governing executive compensation and employee benefits. The attorneys represent buyers, sellers, investors, and lenders in transactions where understanding the rules and associated liabilities of benefit schemes is critical. The firm’s employment lawyers provide a broad range of services to employers of all sizes, including counseling on complex day-to-day issues and employment regulations and litigating discrimination and employment related disputes. The practice group also specializes in representing senior level executives in negotiating employment and separation agreements. Davis Malm’s litigators have extensive experience handling and resolving controversies of all sizes and complexity, from large and multifaceted litigation for major, publicly traded companies to “bet the company” litigation for smaller, privately held enterprises and individuals. Recently, the firm obtained an impressive $152 million jury verdict – the largest verdict in Massachusetts in 2010. Since the firm’s inception, it has been a leader in real estate law, first in Massachusetts and New England and more recently nationally. The firm recently successfully represented a major national real estate investment trust (REIT) traded on the NYSE in a claim for specific performance of a contract after an aborted eminent domain taking of its property in Washington State. The firm’s Trusts and Estates lawyers assist clients to accomplish financial and charitable goals and to plan for the orderly disposition of assets. Of particular note is the firm’s experience in international estate planning and estate administration, advising both U.S. citizens living abroad and non-U.S. citizen residents with business or other assets in the U.S. Representative Clients Clients: Clients include Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Avery Dennison Corporation; Binswanger Corporation; Braintree Laboratories, Inc.; Brook Venture Partners, LLC; Ceramic To Metal Seals, Inc.; Clean Harbors, Inc.; Conroy Development Corporation; Eastern Bank; ESS Group, Inc.; Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc; Exeter Hospital; Facing History and Ourselves; First Student, Inc.; Fletcher Granite Company, LLC; F.W.
