Resolving Business Disputes Through Negotiation, Mediation, Arbitration and  Litigation For Thirty-Five Years.

The practice of law has evolved into the development and growth of a business, rather than a profession. In the culture of modern firms, lawyers are evaluated and rewarded by their peers based upon the number of hours they bill, rather than the outcome obtained for the client. As a result and contrary to popular perceptions, business conflicts, legal issues and disputes in the true business community, whether major corporations or individual business owners, is often underserved and overcharged by the legal profession. All too often, these disputes involve the dissolution of closely held or family businesses. Having served business owners for thirty-five years, in New York, Boston, Massachusetts and throughout the United States and abroad in matters great and small, James F. O’Brien is determined to provide business clients with the benefits of large firm expertise without the burdens of large firm drawbacks.
