Andrea L. Martin

In civil litigation, Andrea represents clients in all stages of dispute resolution -- from initial consultation, administrative investigations, negotiation and mediation, and court proceedings from complaint to appeal. Her practice covers a variety of business torts, including misrepresentation and fraud, as well as contractual disputes involving issues in contract formation, interpretation, performance, and payment.

Her wide variety of practice includes labor and employment disputes, severance, intra-business disputes, independent contractor status disputes, enforcement and interpretation of non-compete agreements, and wage and commission disputes. She also provides counsel on property disputes, eviction proceedings, intellectual property, confidential information, trade secret disputes, and white-collar criminal defense investigations.

Her clients’ legal matters often face “make it or break it concerns” in which the legal dispute is central to their business and livelihood. From the outset, Andrea quickly digs into the details of a client’s issue to relieve their stress and resolve the matter from a legal perspective. She is motivated by helping clients who are stuck in a business dispute, personal matter, employment dispute or otherwise. “I am here to get them through to the other side, to work as part of their team to get to a resolution of whatever it is that they have been struggling with,” she says. “I enjoy winning the uphill battle cases.”

Andrea is known for being one step ahead in a legal dispute, arguing for her clients with a voice – and a competitive edge – they might not otherwise have had. “I know Boston,” she says. “I live here, I work here, I practice here. I know the clerks, I know the judges, and I relish the practice of law in this city. It’s a small legal community where reputation counts. My reputation is excellent, and I enjoy that home-court advantage.”
