  After working for two years as a litigation associate at Sullivan & Worcester

  where I worked on various commercial litigation projects including intellectual property litigation and securities fraud

  I was offered an opportunity I could not pass up

  to work as Legal Counsel to State Senator Andrea F. Nuciforo

  Jr. of the Berkshires. Having worked in politics before law school (working for a political consultant

  Peter Bynum

  in New York City)

  I was eager to utilize my legal skills in politics as well. It was an incredible opportunity to work in the heart of Massachusetts politics

  at a level where I could really impact legislation.\n\nAfter 1 1/2 years working at the Senate

  I was offered a legal fellowship at Partners HealthCare

  representing some of the greatest health care institutions in Massachusetts

  if not the country

  including Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham & Women's Hospital. The fellowship would allow me to practice mostly employment law but also have the opportunity to work in other areas of the office's practice. At the end of my Fellowship I was offered a permanent position

  which I enthusiastically accepted. \n\nA few years into this position

  I was offered a unique opportunity within the office

  which was to split my practice between employment and labor law on one side

  and to lead a group of attorneys in the Patient Care area on the other. The team with whom I work (Naomi Bass

  Melissa Brennan and Julie Chattopattday) are phenomenal colleagues. We provide assistance to the hospitals on issues such as HIPAA privacy

  consent to treat

  guardianships

  ethics

  and any other areas where the law and patient care meet.\n\nI now also teach Health Law

  Employment Law

  Disability Law

  and Public Health Law at Northeastern University School of Law

  and have written for and presented at MCLEs on both Health Law and Employment law matters.\n\nSpecialties: Health Law

  Employment Law

  Labor Law

  Ethics.
