For more than a century, Egan, Flanagan and Cohen has been an essential legal partner to businesses across Western Massachusetts, from first-time entrepreneurs to established companies navigating complex transactions and regulatory demands. We help our clients protect what matters most: their growth, their assets, and their legacy. From entity formation to succession planning, Egan, Flanagan and Cohen is with our clients at every stage of the business lifecycle, delivering the sophistication of a large firm with the accessibility and personal attention of trusted local counsel.
We don’t just handle corporate matters; we serve as a strategic partner to boards, C-suite leaders, and in-house counsel. We provide comprehensive, full-service support across a broad spectrum of business-related areas, including entity formation, labor and employment, bankruptcy and restructuring, real estate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and litigation.
Integrated Counsel for Your Whole Business
Corporate matters rarely stay confined to corporate law. A business acquiring a competitor needs real estate counsel for the property involved and litigators ready if the deal turns contentious. A family business planning succession needs estate planning attorneys who understand the tax and governance issues at stake. A company facing a construction dispute, a land use question, or a claim requiring insurance defense needs counsel who already knows its history, not one starting from scratch. Because Egan, Flanagan and Cohen’s Corporate and Business Law practice works alongside our Real Estate, Commercial Transactions and M&A, Civil and Business Litigation, and Estates and Trusts Planning and Administration attorneys, our business clients get one team across every issue their company encounters, not a series of introductions to new firms as their needs evolve.
Small Business and Entrepreneurial Services.
Growing companies need counsel who are responsive, practical, and efficient. Our corporate team works closely with small and family-owned businesses on the full spectrum of legal needs, from formation and governance to contracts and transactions, delivering the business-minded advice that lets founders move quickly and with confidence.
Labor and Employment Law for Employers.
Staying compliant with evolving state and federal workplace requirements is no small task. Egan, Flanagan and Cohen is the first call for many of our human resources and executive clients, because we deliver practical advice efficiently, before issues become liabilities.
When litigation arises from the employment relationship, we vigorously defend employers against claims before state and federal agencies, including the EEOC and MCAD, and in Massachusetts state and federal courts, backed by the same litigation team that has tried hundreds of cases to verdict across the firm’s broader Civil and Business Litigation practice. For unionized workplaces, our attorneys handle collective bargaining negotiations, impact bargaining, NLRA compliance, and interest and discipline arbitrations. We also represent high-level professionals on employment agreements, restrictive covenants, and severance negotiations, and we prosecute meritorious individual discrimination claims.
