1 4 4 H a r t f o r d McCarter & English, LLP Established in 1844, McCarter & English, LLP, is among the oldest and largest law firms in the United States. F irst established in New Jersey, McCarter & English, LLP has off ices in Boston, Hartford, Stamford, New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, and Wilmington. The firm arrived in Hartford in 2001 thanks to its office founder, Catherine Mohan, firm treasurer and member of the firm's executive committee. The addition of the Hartford office reflected mutu- al industry commitments, as well as shared depth in intellectual property, business litigation, corporate, labor and employment, real estate, environmental, construction, and national toxic tort and product lia- bility law. Drawing on McCarter & English's resources, track record, and offices throughout the Northeast Corridor, the Hartford office offers a deep platform of support for its clients. The firm's 400+ attorneys are known for their skill and strategic insights used to assist their clients with the business challenges that exist in core industry areas including Life Sciences, Technology, Financial Services, Consumer & Industrial Products, Real Estate and Construction. Today, McCarter & English's Hartford office has grown to 45 attorneys and is a key part of a nationally recognized law firm among Fortune 500 companies, midcap firms, and private businesses. Key to McCarter & English's success is its commit- ment to understanding its clients' business objectives and answering their needs with high-quality and responsive services. "We listen closely to our clients' concerns and strive to be an advisor in the business sense, as much as in the legal sense," said Eric Grondahl, Hartford office managing partner. In addition to its tradition of service to clients throughout the Northeast, McCarter & English remains actively committed to the civic and charitable organizations in its surrounding communities. One of the firm's most successful initiatives involves its work with the Connecticut Innocence Project, a division of the state's public defender's services that identifies individuals convicted of crimes of which they are inno- cent. McCarter & English provides office space for the organization's operation in Hartford, but the firm's real efforts for the cause are in the legal services pro- vided pro bono. "We've partnered with them to review cases for individuals who may have been wrongly con- victed of crimes," Grondahl said. "Particularly essen- tial to the project, we continue our support for the people who are exonerated and released, and we help them get back into society." The firm supports the rejuvenation efforts of down- town Hartford through its involvement with organiza- tions like the Knox Park Foundation and Rebuilding Together. In addition, McCarter & English is a proud corporate sponsor of many community organizations like the Greater Hartford Arts Council, the Bushnell Center for Performing Arts, Community Partners in Action, Connecticut Fair Housing, and Greater Hartford Legal Aid. McCarter & English's Hartford office is located on the 36th and 37th floors of CityPlace I. Visit the firm's website at www.mccarter.com.
