Janie McDermott

As one of Connecticut’s leading law firms for more than 100 years, we have built our reputation based on a commitment to excellence, highly personalized, cost-effective client service, and successful outcomes. We put clients’ goals first. At every engagement, we partner with our clients through communication and collaboration to deliver effective results. Avoiding over-lawyering, this proactive approach enables us to anticipate client needs and provide efficient service. The result: smart, practical, and personal legal counsel. With offices in New Haven, Stamford, Waterbury, Guilford, Litchfield, and Southbury, we deliver a depth and breadth of skills and experience across disciplines, coupled with the ability to assemble the best possible team to meet client needs. We frequently serve as local counsel for out-of-state and international firms and, as members of one of the world’s premier networks of independent legal firms, Mackrell International, we provide clients with legal services throughout the United States and around the world. Our lawyers have deep roots in the communities in which we work. We serve on local boards, with charities, trade and industry associations, and are heavily engaged in giving back to our community. We understand the issues and challenges of business as well as the legislative and governmental processes and have built trusted relationships across a diverse array of organizations.
