Bartlett, McDonough & Monaghan, LLP

What Bartlett, McDonough & Monaghan, LLP does

Bartlett, McDonough & Monaghan, LLP (operating as Bartlett LLP) is a multi-specialty civil defense and trial law firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Melville, New York. The firm fields roughly 35 attorneys across five offices spanning New York (Melville, Rockville Centre, New York City, White Plains), Florida (Fort Lauderdale), and New Jersey, with admission in federal and state courts across those jurisdictions. Its practice spans 19 distinct service lines anchored in medical and hospital malpractice defense, construction accident and New York Labor Law litigation, general liability (auto, premises, products), insurance coverage and monitoring counsel for excess insurers, professional liability, municipal and employment law, transportation, hospitality, and appellate advocacy. Client segments include hospitals and physicians, insurance carriers and brokers, construction companies, municipalities, transportation providers, hospitality operators, and licensed professionals.

The firm's core "technology" is conventional civil defense litigation tooling and case management rather than a proprietary product platform; no patents, APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML products are disclosed. Bartlett LLP monetizes through traditional professional services hourly billing, with rates described as competitive and engagement terms quoted by matter complexity and attorney seniority. The firm does not publish pricing; bills monthly; and acquires clients primarily through insurance carrier panel appointments, monitoring/settlement counsel retainers, and professional referrals. Marketing is largely referral- and reputation-driven, supported by attorney recognition in Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent, and industry affiliations such as the American Hospital Association and IACP.

Bartlett LLP is privately held as a New York limited liability partnership with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no public funding. Leadership transitioned in 2023 following the death of founding partner Clifford Bartlett, Jr.; current Managing Partner Lou Tassan (a former founding partner of a New York litigation boutique) oversees a partnership bench that includes Senior Trial Partners Robert Devine, Robert F. Elliott, Brian E. Lee, and Jorge L. Cruz-Bustillo, alongside a deep associate and senior associate roster.
