Kathleen Stone, Boston Attorney specializing in business litigation & commercial workouts

Kathleen Stone represents companies and individuals when they confront legal issues in their businesses. Some problems can be resolved by adaptation and creative thinking within the organization; others require litigation. Kathleen guides her clients to recognize and address issues at both ends of the spectrum, and to execute strategies that achieve their business goals.

Kathleen provides her clients with the benefit of extensive experience. She began her legal career as law clerk to the Honorable T.F. Gilroy Daly of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. She entered private practice with the 140 lawyer firm of Robinson & Cole where she handled a variety of business litigation and commercial workout matters and was elected partner in 1989. In 1991 Kathleen pursued the unique opportunity to help dispose of the nearly $7 billion commercial loan portfolio of the insolvent Bank of New England by becoming senior counsel and group leader in the law department of Recoll Management Corporation, a Fleet Financial Group subsidiary. In 1995 Kathleen re-entered private practice and continues to litigate and advise on commercial and employment issues affecting financial institutions, businesses and individuals.

Kathleen practices in federal and state courts, and appears before mediators and arbitrators. She earned her J.D. at Boston University School of Law in 1980 and is admitted to the bars of Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island.  She has received an AV rating from her peers, the highest rating a lawyer can achieve for legal skill and ethical standards.
