Strang, Scott, Giroux & Young is thrilled to celebrate ten years of being in practice. Started in September, 2010, the firm got off the ground with three founding partners. It soon opened an office in Boston’s Kenmore Square, in the shadow of the city’s iconic Citgo sign. Within a year it outgrew that office and moved into a larger space in Kenmore Square. In 2015 the firm opened its New Hampshire office, and in 2018 moved the Boston office to the downtown area where it remains.

Originally focused mostly on construction law and business litigation, the firm since added practice areas in commercial leasing, commercial real estate and development. Our attorneys have been recognized for many accomplishments in the profession, including for outstanding representation of our clients, pro bono efforts and public service activities.

More than anything Strang Scott appreciates the clients, friends and colleagues who have made practicing law here such an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately the in person celebration once planned has to be postponed for now, but will remain something to look forward to for next year. Many thanks to all of our supporters, and the team looks forward to continued success and growth in the years to come.

Our Boston office seeks a full-time associate for a litigation practice with emphasis on construction and business litigation. The ideal candidate will have 2+ years of litigation experience. We are looking for a self-starter and offer the opportunity to largely work from home.

Qualifications

• Admission to the Massachusetts State Bar, admission to New Hampshire State Bar a plus.
• Excellent research and writing skills
• 2+ years of experience practicing in Massachusetts, preferably in construction or business litigation.
