Named one of the most powerful businesspeople in Boston by the Boston Business Journal and one of 2023’s Most Influential Bostonians by Boston Magazine and inducted into the inaugural Hall of Fame class by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, Beth Boland gets things done. Through her deep involvement in the business, legal, and civic communities in Boston and as a lawyer, board member, and advocate, she has built respected relationships and business acumen that she puts to work for clients.

“Beth’s extremely detailed and in-depth knowledge is invaluable,” said a client in Chambers USA about Beth’s securities litigation experience. She leads internal investigations for corporate boards and represents corporations in connection with shareholder disputes, insider trading issues, Ponzi schemes, accounting fraud, corporate control issues, whistleblower claims, executive compensation and strategic business transactions, and Securities and Exchange Commission and attorney general investigations.

Beth defends some of the nation’s largest financial institutions and operating companies in class-action litigation and multiagency enforcement actions and has won numerous class actions with industry-wide ramifications in state supreme courts and federal appeals courts across the country. She works with clients in a wide range of industries, including financial services, innovative technology, and manufacturing.
