About Lawrence
Lawrence Hale has a legal career that stretches back to the 1970s. He trained first as a business student and then as a lawyer. He brings a long view to legal problems and a straightforward manner with clients and colleagues.
Hale earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Boston University, completing his undergraduate degree in 1968. He went on to attend Northeastern University School of Law and received his J.D. in 1974. Those two degrees — one grounded in business and the other in law — have informed the way he approaches cases and client matters.
After law school he established his practice in Massachusetts. Over the decades he has worked in the state’s courts and handled matters that intersect state and federal law. He built a practice that reflects steady, practical problem solving rather than flash. Colleagues describe him as methodical and clear in his work product.
Hale is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and is also admitted before the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Those admissions allow him to handle matters at both the trial level and on appeal. He has managed litigation and legal matters that required attention to procedural detail and careful drafting.
His background in business administration has given him an eye for how legal decisions affect commercial outcomes. That perspective has guided his handling of transactional issues and contested matters alike. He has been counsel on matters that required coordinating with clients, regulators, and opposing counsel to reach practical resolutions.
Colleagues and clients have noted his low-key approach. He does not seek headlines. He focuses on steady representation and clear advice. He remains active in practice and is known for preparing thoroughly for hearings and filings.
As of 2026 Hale continues to maintain his practice in Massachusetts and before the First Circuit, where he handles matters that arise in state and federal forums.
