Hirsch Roberts Weinstein

What Hirsch Roberts Weinstein does

Hirsch Roberts Weinstein LLP (HRW) is a Boston-based labor and employment law firm founded in 2008, with predecessors tracing back through Sullivan Weinstein & McQuay, P.C. The firm operates ten core practice areas including Labor Relations, Employment Counseling, Litigation, Higher Education, Independent Schools, Information & Data Security, Investigations, Non-Compete Law, Training & Education, and Wage & Hour. HRW serves Fortune 500 companies, colleges and universities, nonprofit institutions, and technology and life sciences companies primarily across New England, with the higher education practice extending nationally.

HRW generates revenue through three primary streams: traditional hourly-billed legal services, a flat-fee monthly retainer program (the Labor and Employment Services Program, or LESP) that provides unlimited consultation, training, and document review, and the Leadership Education Institute (LEI), a structured training program covering supervisory skills, anti-harassment training, wage and hour compliance, and related topics. The firm employs approximately 30 attorneys across partner, counsel, and associate levels, with additional administrative and support staff, and operates from its headquarters at One Liberty Square in Boston.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven and content-led, relying on client alerts, professional conference participation, leadership in bar associations, client roundtables, and referral networks rather than resellers or distributors. Recognized repeatedly in Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA, and Super Lawyers rankings, HRW has built a reputation for proactive, counseling-first employment legal services combined with litigation defense capabilities. There is no evidence of external investment, parent ownership, or M&A activity; the firm remains privately held under partner ownership.
