 James B. Conroy
James B. Conroy is a co-founder of Donnelly, Conroy & Gelhaar, LLP. His practice is concentrated in employment litigation and counseling, business litigation, and internal corporate and institutional investigations. He has broad experience in state and federal trial and appellate courts, agency proceedings, arbitrations, and mediations. He often conducts and supervises investigations of alleged workplace wrongdoing. His legal writing has been published in The Massachusetts Law Review and the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.
Mr. Conroy earned his law degree, magna cum laude, at the Georgetown University Law Center in 1982. He is a graduate of the University of Connecticut and earned a Master's degree in International Affairs at George Washington University. He has taught at Suffolk University Law School as a member of the adjunct faculty.
A former senior partner of the Boston law firm of Nutter, McClennen & Fish, Mr. Conroy was a member of that firm's litigation department and its labor and employment group and served as its litigation training partner.
In each of the past several years, Mr. Conroy has been named a Massachusetts "Super Lawyer" in Boston Magazine.
Before joining the bar, Mr. Conroy pursued a public affairs career in Washington, D.C., where he served sequentially as Press Secretary for Congressman Edward Mezvinsky of Iowa; Press Secretary for the United States Senate Committee on the Budget; speech writer for its successive chairmen, Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine and Senator Ernest Hollings of South Carolina; and chief of staff for Congressman James Scheuer of New York. During his years in Washington, Mr. Conroy devoted much of his leisure time to an unrequited infatuation with the Washington Redskins, who only started winning superbowls after he moved to Massachusetts. He denies any cause and effect relationship and is now a reliable New England Patriots fan.
From 1971 to 1977, Mr. Conroy served in the United States Navy Reserve in antisubmarine aviation units. He lives in Hingham, Massachusetts, where he has coached youth sports teams and has chaired the Town's Advisory Committee, its Task Force on Affordability, and its Government Study Committee and has served as Assistant Moderator of the Hingham Town Meeting.
