Giving Back in Our Community

Our commitment to our community extends beyond the walls of the firm. Giving back is a core value at Hemenway & Barnes. Our professionals devote time to the communities in which we work and live, providing pro bono legal services, volunteering, and performing days of service as a firm. We weave our commitment to diversity and community into the work we do, the vendors with whom we do business and our hiring practices. Ours is an open culture where neighbor helps neighbor.

Advocating for change

Meet Ned Notis-McConarty

Ned is very active in the gun reform community. He is the Leader of the Gun Reform Committee at B-PEACE for Jorge and an officer and director of the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence. He has testified before the Massachusetts state legislature on gun reform legislation and frequently speaks on this topic at related events.

Jeans for a Cause: Quarterly Firm Fundraisers

Each quarter, Hemenway & Barnes hosts a fundraising initiative to raise money and awareness for charitable organizations and causes. Employees are invited to nominate a cause close to their hearts, and on fundraising day, we celebrate by wearing jeans to show our support.

Helping those in need

Finding Inspiration

Our clients, Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes, published the book, "Rescue & Jessica". The inspiring story of a girl and her service dog is based on the real-life partnership between the book's author and her service dog, Rescue.
