ADR & Legal Consulting Services

Pierce Davis & Perritano LLP now offers mediation, arbitration, neutral analysis, and legal consulting services in a wide variety of civil cases, either in person, virtually, or in combination, through our distinguished neutral and consultant, the Honorable Brian A. Davis (Ret.).

Judge Davis is an experienced civil litigator who was appointed in 2013 to the Massachusetts Superior Court, where he served as an Associate Justice for over eleven years, including four years sitting in the Superior Court’s specialized Business Litigation Session (BLS).  As a member of the Superior Court, Judge Davis earned a reputation as a smart, fair, well-prepared, and hard-working judge who treats litigants and their counsel with dignity and respect.  He listens carefully and is receptive to differing viewpoints, but he remains focused and decisive.  He is skilled in analyzing complex legal and factual issues and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the parties’ positions, making him particularly well-qualified to help resolve even the most challenging disputes and cases.

Prior to his judicial appointment, Judge Davis spent twenty-seven years as an associate and partner in the Litigation Department of the Boston law firm of Choate, Hall & Stewart, LLP.  He specialized in complex commercial disputes, significant tort and personal injury actions, fraud and extra-contractual insurance litigation, and e-discovery matters.  He tried many cases in both state and federal courts, and served as the chair or co-chair of the firm’s Litigation Department for over eight years, as well as the chair of the firm’s Major Commercial Litigation Practice Group for over five years.
