Boston, MA — After four years of legal operations in Boston, Seeger Weiss, a prominent Mid-Atlantic plaintiffs law firm, announced it will be leaving the Boston market. The firm, known for its vigorous handling of complex litigation cases, initially expanded into Boston in 2021 under the guidance of then environmental practice chair, Matthew Pawa.
Matthew Pawa, instrumental in establishing the firm’s presence in Boston, has decided to part ways with Seeger Weiss. One week ago, he revived his previous venture, the Pawa Law Group P.C., focusing again on environmental litigation. The re-launch of his firm marks a return to his roots in environmental advocacy and litigation, areas where he has garnered significant recognition.
The departure of Seeger Weiss from Boston positions Pawa Law Group P.C. to potentially fill the gap left in environmental legal advocacy in the region. Pawa, along with associates Benjamin Krass and Wesley Kelman, who were also part of the Seeger Weiss team, are now integral to the operations of Pawa’s reinstated firm.
This move comes amid shifting dynamics within the legal markets of larger U.S. cities, where specialization and boutique firms are increasingly preferred for particular types of litigation, such as environmental cases. As major firms recalibrate their geographic and practice focus, smaller firms like Pawa Law Group may find favorable opportunities for growth and market penetration.
Pawa’s decision to re-establish his firm and the concurrent exit of Seeger Weiss reflect broader trends in the legal industry where client preferences and case types can influence firms’ strategic decisions about where and how to operate.
The realignment of Pawa Law Group under Matthew Pawa’s leadership is expected to invigorate the firm’s dedication to environmental law and advocacy, a field that is both legally complex and critical to public health and safety. This niche focus aligns well with the growing demand for legal expertise in environmental issues brought forth by increased regulatory and public scrutiny.
Industry watchers might keep an eye on how Pawa Law Group leverages its specialized knowledge in future environmental cases and whether it will expand its footprint in the Boston legal scene and beyond.
