Baillie and Hershman P.C.

What Baillie and Hershman P.C. does

Baillie & Hershman P.C. is a privately-held professional corporation law firm founded in 2004 and headquartered in Cheshire, Connecticut, focused exclusively on residential and commercial real estate legal services. The firm employs approximately 9 attorneys and 16 paralegals/legal staff across seven offices in Connecticut (Cheshire, Fairfield, Greenwich, West Hartford), Massachusetts (Wellesley, Danvers), and New York (Bronxville), with a service area spanning Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Rhode Island, Maine, and the District of Columbia. Its core practice covers home buyer representation, home seller representation, refinancing transactions, and co-counsel/lender services for real estate closings, supported by board-certified real estate specialists and Senior Certified Relocation Professionals (SCRP) on staff.

The firm operates a largely referral-driven professional services model, generating revenue through quote-based legal fees per closing rather than subscription or recurring contracts. Pricing is determined per transaction based on complexity and scope and is not publicly listed. Distribution runs through direct attorney relationships at office locations, structured referrals from real estate agents and mortgage lenders, and co-counsel arrangements with other attorneys. Through its sister company, Associated Attorney Title & Closing Company (AATC), the firm extends nationwide title insurance, relocation, and recording services beyond its direct geographic footprint. Underlying technology is modest and operational rather than differentiated: the firm uses third-party Resware for title and settlement processing and developed the Agent Knowledgebase app (iOS, Android, web) as a free property-records and legal-guidance resource for Connecticut real estate agents, functioning more as a referral-driver than a revenue product.

Growth posture is one of measured geographic and organizational expansion rather than rapid scaling. The firm has opened new offices (Greenwich in 2023) and entered New York via a merger with Nobile, Magarian & DiSalvo, LLP in April 2024, followed by targeted attorney hiring. There is no disclosed external funding, no PE/VC backing, and no public revenue disclosure; the firm remains owner-operated under Senior Partner Donald S. Baillie and Partner Jay N. Hershman, with affiliated entities (AATC, Total Relocation Solutions) under common ownership. AI/ML capabilities are not present in the disclosed technology stack.
