About Robert R.
Robert R. Berluti has combined legal training and business study across a career that spans more than four decades. He holds degrees in both law and management that shape the way he approaches complex client problems.
He began his academic path at Tufts University, earning a B.A. in 1977. He went on to Suffolk University, where he received his J.D. in 1980. After practicing law for a short period he returned to postgraduate study and completed an LL.M. in Taxation at Boston University School of Law in 1982. He later added an MBA from Boston University Graduate School of Management in 1994, bringing formal business training to his legal work.
His career has been long and steady. He is a partner at Berluti McLaughlin & Kutchin LLP, where he has been a senior member of the firm’s team. Over the years he has handled matters that require careful attention to statutory detail and practical business judgment. Colleagues describe him as methodical in the way he structures analysis and clear in the advice he gives to clients.
Berluti is admitted to practice in multiple jurisdictions: Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire and Connecticut. That multi-state admission allows him to represent clients with interests across several New England and mid-Atlantic jurisdictions. His LL.M. in Taxation underpins work on tax-related questions, while his MBA informs counsel on business transactions and planning. He regularly works on matters where tax law and business considerations intersect.
Clients who seek a lawyer comfortable with both technical tax issues and commercial concerns find that combination useful. He takes a practical approach to problem solving, laying out options and likely outcomes. He maintains an active role at his firm and participates in client engagements that require coordination across disciplines and state lines. He currently practices as a partner at Berluti McLaughlin & Kutchin LLP, where his work centers on tax and business law across Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire and Connecticut.
