Continuing the expansion of its national Litigation Practice, Mintz, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. announced the addition of Therese Doherty, the former co-chair of the Litigation Department at Herrick Feinstein, as a Member based in New York.  She is the third prominent litigator to join the office in the last two months.

"We are delighted to have Therese join the firm," said Bob Bodian, Managing Member of Mintz. "Therese not only is one of the most accomplished securities litigators in the country, but she fits perfectly into our collaborative culture. The firm just concluded its second record-breaking year in a row, with revenue up 33% and profits per partner up 25% during that time, and the addition of Therese and other talented partners puts even more wind at our backs, and offers our clients more depth and breadth in key areas.  This is a very exciting time for Mintz."
