David P. Rosenblatt Firm mission statement (250 words maximum):
Burns & Levinson is one of the premier mid-size Boston-based law firms with over 120 attorneys serving clients regionally, nationally and internationally in the practices of business law, business litigation, intellectual property, real estate and private client services. Our mission is to provide clients legal expertise and business advice of the highest quality with the close attention and care associated with smaller firms. The firm has added depth in several areas of practice over the years to address client needs and most recently we expanded our intellectual property group and science and technology practices. We continue to evaluate our services and develop our practices to meet our clients’ changing needs. In addition, the firm has a unique local community commitment focusing on the education of Boston’s youth. We have developed two programs, the Brighton High School Partnership and the Power of an Idea™ Scholarship Contest, to give back to the community and encourage students to pursue their interests and become our future leaders. We are very proud of our unique, client-centric culture and have built our firm on longstanding and newly added relationships, as well as on our shared network of resources. We look forward to growth and successes with our clients in 2007 and beyond.
