Verrill, a prominent regional law firm with deep New England roots, has announced an expansion of its Connecticut presence, welcoming seven highly regarded attorneys who will bolster its capabilities across business law, trust and estates, litigation, and tax. This growth underscores the firm’s commitment to meeting client needs in an increasingly complex legal landscape.
Verrill’s growth in Connecticut comes on the heels of the firm’s significant growth in Northern New England. The firm has welcomed 20 attorneys in Maine and Massachusetts so far in 2025.
Welcoming New Talent in Connecticut
The firm recently welcomed:
Andrew W. Nelson, Mark McEnroe, Eleni Choephel, and Justin D. Wade to the firm’s Business Law Group. As members of the group, they continue to represent clients in a broad range of corporate matters, including private equity and venture capital funds, investors, and business entities across various industries, encompassing general corporate matters, financings, and transactions, among other areas.
Harry E. Peden III and Kevin A. Walsh to the firm’s Private Clients and Fiduciary Services Group, representing individuals and business entities in connection with business, financial, and corporate law matters, in addition to tax planning and trust and estate matters.
James C. Riley to the Trial Group, representing businesses and individuals in a wide range of matters, including multi-million-dollar contract disputes and related tort claims, construction disputes, employment-related disputes, and First Amendment matters.
These additions further strengthen Verrill’s presence in Fairfield County, especially in Greenwich, where a new office complements Verrill’s existing Westport location.
