The Boston Business Journal reported to me: 6 lawyers, 5 partners, 3 secretaries all left Peabody!*

The group, which practices real estate, is moving to Nutter. Nutter's managing partner "emphasized that Nutter didn't approach Peabody with the idea of acquiring a practice group." (emphasis added) Of course, if they hadn't bothered to emphasize it, we probably wouldn't think that's exactly what happened. Some lawyers should just learn the value of keeping their mouths shut.
