The Hartford Business Journal recently highlighted Harris Beach Murtha’s combination with Peabody & Arnold in an article about Connecticut law firms increasing their presence in Boston.

Speaking with Harris Beach Murtha CEO Chris Jagel, the article explained that expanding the firm’s Boston presence builds on a broader growth strategy following the firm’s combination with Murtha Cullina at the beginning of 2025.

Chris noted that, beyond the geographic expansion, adding Peabody & Arnold brings new capabilities in transactional and management liability coverage practices, insurance coverage litigation and professional liability defense.

“We think that Boston is going to continue to be really a hub of growth and development over time,” Jagel told the Hartford Business Journal.

Jagel said the firm expects to continue to add attorneys in its Connecticut offices, as well as other markets.
