Sherin and Lodgen has been selected as a 2026 “Best Legacy Law Firm” by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.

Founded in 1945 by Harvard Law School graduates Arthur Sherin and George Lodgen, Sherin and Lodgen has grown from a boutique commercial real estate practice into one of Greater Boston’s most respected full-service law firms. While the firm built its early reputation representing major developers and retailers on significant New England real estate projects, it has expanded over the past eight decades to provide sophisticated counsel across a broad range of legal disciplines, serving businesses, institutions, nonprofits, municipalities, and individuals.

Throughout its history, Sherin and Lodgen has remained guided by the principles established by its founders: delivering practical, high-quality legal counsel, fostering enduring client relationships, and investing in the communities it serves. Today, the firm continues to build on that legacy through its commitment to legal excellence, client service, professional development, and community engagement.

“This recognition reflects the talent and integrity of the generations of attorneys and professional staff who have shaped our firm over the last 80 years. Their commitment to excellence, innovation, and service has enabled Sherin and Lodgen to evolve with our clients’ needs while remaining true to the values that have defined our firm since 1945,” said Sherin and Lodgen Managing Partner Sara Jane Shanahan.
