McCarter & English Firmwide Managing Partner Joe Boccassini was recently featured in New Jersey Law Journal discussing the forces driving law firm growth in New Jersey despite continued market uncertainty.
Joe pointed to strong demand across litigation, bankruptcy, real estate, intellectual property, and private client work as key contributors to a record year for the firm. He also highlighted McCarter’s disciplined approach to lateral growth, expanding its bench while remaining committed to a full-service model that allows the firm to meet a broad range of client needs.
Joe further shared his perspective on shifting merger dynamics, noting that while according to Law.com’s Managing Partner survey interest may be cooling among law firms, ongoing pressures around rising costs, succession planning, and competition for talent continue to play a role in the industry’s consolidation landscape.
