A shake-up in the New England legal market has resulted in 16 lawyers jumping to the South Carolina-based Am Law 200 firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough’s Boston office, eight of them as partners, the firm announced Nov. 19.
Led by Bert Capone, Thomas Hayman, and James Carroll, the group joined Nelson Mullins three weeks ago from local firm Cetrulo & Capone, which is now named simply Cetrulo. All litigators, half of Nelson Mullin’s new hires focus on civil litigation, construction, and surety law; the others specialize in product liability and catastrophic accident litigation.
