History

Day Pitney LLP was formed in January 2007 by the merger of two firms:[3] the Hartford, Connecticut-based Day, Berry & Howard LLP (founded 1919), which was one of the largest and most profitable firms in New England, and Pitney Hardin LLP (founded 1902), which had been based in New York and New Jersey.[4]

In 2016 and 2019, the firm expanded in the Florida market by merging with smaller boutique firms, Chapin, Ballerano and Cheslack[5] and Richman Greer,[6] respectively.

Practice Areas

The firm has practices in litigation, probate, trusts and estates, labor & employment, corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, municipal finance, real estate, bankruptcy and creditors' rights, tax law, insurance law, intellectual property, and energy law.[7] The firm's main client base consists of middle-market companies, but it also represents some of the larger companies of the Fortune 500 as well as individuals.[7]

Offices

The firm has offices in Boston, Connecticut (Greenwich, Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, and West Hartford), Florida (Miami, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Delray Beach), New York City, Parsippany, NJ, and Washington, D.C.[8]
