This month’s team lunch celebrated our new summer associates and interns! We welcomed them to the CMM team with style, and a delicious catered lunch from Senor Taco. We enjoyed a nacho bar, empanadas, create-your-own-tacos, and arroz con pollo. Our theme this month was “Alma Mater Day!” We invited everyone to celebrate their school spirit with their college swag or favorite sports gear. It was a fun way to learn more about one another, as well as welcome our new team members! We also came together to congratulate Senior Partner Patrick McCormick on a job well done as he completes his term as Dean of the Suffolk Academy of Law.This month’s team lunch celebrated our new summer associates and interns!

When business ties break down, things can get ugly. CMM’s client, a well-respected environmental engineering firm, received threats and bogus criminal complaints from a shareholder, who sought to intimidate the company in an effort to gain an advantage in buyout negotiations.
