Overview

Content is provided by the firm.

SKP is a boutique litigation firm located in downtown Boston. We represent individuals and institutions in complex civil and criminal matters with an emphasis on white collar criminal cases, sensitive internal investigations, health care-related matters, and multi-district litigation. Our team of seasoned former prosecutors, large firm practitioners, and judicial law clerks has collectively tried over 200 cases to a jury, and has prevented many more from ever reaching that stage by avoiding indictment, achieving a dismissal, or negotiating a beneficial pre-trial resolution. We leverage our deep and varied experience, unimpeachable judgment, and carefully crafted, innovative strategies to help our clients navigate their toughest legal issues.

Our only commitment is to our clients. We dedicate ourselves to serving as their allies, advocates, and defenders from the first meeting to the final outcome. We begin by listening carefully to our clients and helping them define their goals. Then we tailor our investigative, trial, and negotiation strategies to meet their objectives. Our lawyers have the tenacity, versatility, and know-how to take on the most challenging battles in any venue and to deftly resolve the most intractable disputes.

Our greatest strengths are the experience, energy, and compassion of our people. Our only objective is to help our clients achieve their goals as they define them, so that they can get back to living their lives or running their businesses on their own terms.
