Biography

Lucy is the managing partner of the firm and chair of its health law, and its intellectual property, technology and Internet law groups. She counsels clients on a wide variety of business and intellectual property issues. Much of Lucy’s practice is devoted to advising clients in the fields of health law, nonprofit, and general business law. Her clients include artists and writers, manufacturers, emerging technology companies, non-profit organizations, and health care providers. Lucy is also an experienced litigator, handling complex commercial and employment cases in both state and federal courts in Massachusetts and New York.

Lucy is active in the Southern Berkshire community. She serves as the Chair of the 8 Town Regional School District Planning Board, a public body studying the educational and financial feasibility of the merger of the Southern Berkshire Regional School District and the Berkshire Hills Regional School District. She is a member of the Council of the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center and a member of its Education Committee, and she is the past Chair of the Board of Directors of the Literacy Network of South Berkshire, on whose board she served for 10 years. Under the auspices of Berkshire United Way, Lucy launched an early childhood literacy initiative in southern Berkshire County known as “Chapter One, Our Towns, Our Kids, Our Future,” whose stated goal is closing the achievement gap for children entering kindergarten. A strong advocate for equal opportunity, Lucy received the 2015 “Woman of Achievement” award from the Berkshire Business and Professional Woman organization for her significant career accomplishments and exceptional commitment to the community, and was profiled as an influential “Woman in Business” by 1Berkshire in 2018.
