Kopelman and Paige, P.C.

What Kopelman and Paige, P.C. does

KP Law, P.C. (formerly Kopelman and Paige, P.C.) is a mid-size Massachusetts law firm of nearly 50 attorneys specializing in public sector municipal law. The firm operates from four offices across the Commonwealth — Boston (headquarters at 101 Arch Street), Hyannis, Northampton, and Worcester — and serves as City Solicitor or Town Counsel for over one-third of Massachusetts cities and towns, with additional special counsel engagements for over 100 additional municipalities, special districts, housing authorities, regional transit authorities, and state agencies.

The firm's service portfolio spans 19 distinct practice areas anchored by General Municipal Law and extending into labor and employment, contracts and procurement, real estate, land use, environmental law, government information and access (Open Meeting/Public Records Law), tax title, waterways, affordable housing (Chapters 40B/40R), cable television licensing, casinos and gaming, green energy, public transportation, school law, data privacy, regulatory compliance, marine/aviation defense, and litigation. This breadth supports a one-stop-shop model for municipal clients, who benefit from the firm's experience representing clients in every trial court in Massachusetts, at appellate levels, and before administrative boards. The revenue model is professional services billing (hourly and fixed-fee arrangements) to government clients, with a smaller private sector book covering real estate, employment, and commercial litigation.

Founded in 1986 by Leonard Kopelman and Donald Paige, the firm operated as Kopelman and Paige, P.C. for 34 years before rebranding to KP Law, P.C. in 2020 following Paige's passing in 2016. Current leadership is provided by Managing Attorney Lauren F. Goldberg and a shareholder/management committee. The firm is an independent professional corporation with no private equity, venture capital, or parent company ownership.
