About Us

Founded in 1950 by Harvard law School friends and classmates Francis X. Murtagh and Harvey Cohen, for more than seventy years MCBMM’s goal has remained constant: to deliver top notch legal services at affordable fees. We pride ourselves on having clients, not cases, and building lasting relationships with both the business entities and the individuals we represent.

​

While we maintain a broad general practice, our particular area of expertise is in the unionized construction field. We represent numerous specialty contractors, trade associations and members thereof, and other participants in the construction industry. In addition to negotiating agreements for major construction projects, our lawyers have litigated contract disputes when they have arisen and handled antitrust and RICO actions which our clients have faced. Beyond the construction area of our practice, we have a long history of representing clients in real estate, trust and estate matters.

 

We look forward to hearing about both your problems and objectives. If we cannot help you ourselves, we will sincerely try to refer you to someone who will.
