About Anthony C.
Anthony C. Adamopoulos built a practice around resolving family disputes outside the courtroom. He trained in negotiation and mediation early in his career and kept adding dispute-resolution credentials over decades. He is a familiar presence in Massachusetts family law circles.
Adamopoulos began his legal education at Suffolk University Law School, earning his J.D. in 1972 after completing undergraduate studies at Susquehanna University in 1967. He pursued additional training throughout his career, including Harvard Law School’s Program of Instruction for Lawyers mediation and negotiation workshops in 1985, advanced mediation training at the Center for Dispute Settlement in 1995, and international arbitration coursework through the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and the American Arbitration Association in 1996. In 2008 he completed arbitration training offered by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
His bar admissions include the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. He served as a certified conciliator in the Essex County Probate and Family Court Conciliation Program, a role that placed him regularly in direct contact with couples and court personnel handling divorce matters. That hands-on conciliator work informed his approach to mediation and collaborative processes.
Over the years Adamopoulos has accumulated a range of certificates and appointments. They include credentials from Harvard’s negotiation workshops, certificates of attendance for arbitration training programs, appointment as a certified conciliator by the Essex County Bar Association, and recognition as a senior negotiation trainer by The Negotiation Skills Company. He has also lectured and spoken for organizations concerned with family mediation.
Professional associations have been an ongoing part of his practice. He is affiliated with the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Family Law Section and is a fellow of the Massachusetts Bar Foundation. He has been involved in the Massachusetts Family & Probate American Inn of Court and the Essex County Bar Association, where he once served as a director of the Family Law Section. He helped establish Northshore Collaborative Divorce and was a co-founder of the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council.
Today he maintains a private practice under the name Anthony C. Adamopoulos Divorce Mediation & Divorce Resolution Services, providing mediation, conciliation, and collaborative law services to families in the region. He continues to accept matters involving divorce mediation, collaborative divorces, and court-connected conciliation work as his current practice focus.
