ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

A noted firm

In 2006, New England law firm Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP celebrated 100 years of practicing law. Today's Hinckley results from the combination of two Rhode Island firms, Hinckley & Allen (founded in 1906) and Tobin & Silverstein (founded in 1917), the successful Massachusetts firm Snyder, Tepper & Comen (founded in 1947), and a group of lawyers from Boston's Fine & Ambrogne. Centered in Boston, with regional offices in Concord, New Hampshire and Providence, Rhode Island, the full-service firm's clients include many of New England's publicly-held corporations and emerging businesses, financial and educational institutions, and several of the nation's largest real estate developers and construction companies. Firm honors for 2006 include being voted one of Rhode Island's "Best Places to Work" by the Best Companies Group. In the small to mid-size firm category, the firm ranked No. 8. Hinckley Allen is also affiliated with TerraLex, a global network of 150 independent law firms and 12,000 attorneys in nearly 100 countries, and The Toledo Group, a national network of independent law firms.
