Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers

What Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers does

Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers, P.C. was a Boston-based law firm founded in 1991, structured as a Professional Corporation under Massachusetts law. The firm delivered comprehensive legal services — including counsel, representation, and legal proceedings across multiple practice areas — to corporate and business clients as its primary segment, with additional service to individual clients. Revenue was generated exclusively through professional services fees, typically billed on an engagement or hourly basis, with no disclosed alternative pricing models.

The firm operated from a single Boston office and maintained a regional footprint across Massachusetts and the broader Northeast, including New Hampshire. Client acquisition relied on professional referrals and reputation within the legal community rather than formalized marketing channels. The firm's 17-attorney team represented the entirety of its professional capacity.

In November 2025, all 17 attorneys of Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers departed to join Shipman & Goodwin LLP's newly established Boston office, with integration completed in April 2026. The transaction raised Shipman & Goodwin's attorney headcount to over 160 and effectively ended Tarlow Breed Hart & Rodgers' independent operations. As a standalone entity, the firm no longer operates; its client base and talent have been absorbed into the acquiring firm.
