National law firm Eckert Seamans has added Jacqueline A. Welch as a Commercial Litigation Member in the firm’s Boston office. She joins Eckert Seamans from Nystrom Beckman & Paris LLP.
Welch has over 25 years of complex commercial litigation experience, concentrating her practice on business and corporate litigation, corporate and government investigations, securities and financial services litigation, real estate disputes, professional negligence, and employment matters. She also has experience advising corporations and start-ups on formation, contracts, compliance, and strategy matters. In addition, Welch previously served for more than five years as an Assistant Attorney General prosecuting unfair and deceptive business practice cases, including matters involving financial fraud, banking, corporate, real estate, advertising, and non-profit organizations. She also practiced at a large Boston-based law firm and a global law firm, as well as managed a legal consulting firm in Asia. Welch earned her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and an M.A. and B.A. from The University of Virginia.
“Jackie is an accomplished advocate and counsellor, and we are excited to welcome her as a member of our team,” said Peter Carr, Member-In-Charge of the Eckert Seamans Boston office. “Jackie’s track record, particularly in business litigation and internal investigations matters, makes her a valuable addition to our practice here in Boston and firmwide.”
The Boston Office of Eckert Seamans is home to more than 30 attorneys covering multiple practices, including Business Counseling, Commercial Litigation, Education, Financial Transactions, Government Affairs, Mass Tort Litigation, and Real Estate, among others.
“Our firm has been a dedicated business and community partner in Boston for over 30 years, and we look forward to continuing our growth across the region,” Carr continued.
Eckert Seamans has welcomed several other commercial litigation attorneys this year, including Member Nicholas Pasalides in White Plains, Associate Selin Demir in Washington, D.C., and Associate Liz Lake in Boston. Lawyers in the firm’s Commercial Litigation practice advise on business disputes across a broad spectrum of local, regional, and national industry sectors, counseling clients on all stages of litigation, from pre-suit counseling and investigations through trials and appeals.
