Gene’s reputation precedes him, as shown by his commitment to his clients and their success.  We are impressed by the volume and quality of companies that rely on Gene to guide them through their most complicated transactions. His experience and business acumen will deepen our middle-market corporate capabilities in both Boston and New York.”

Goulston & Storrs’ Corporate Group stands out from its competitors with the combination of practical business advice and an ability to deal with complex transactions in an efficient, cost-effective manner. With over 30 years practicing law, Gene’s diverse practice will further bolster Goulston & Storrs’ Corporate Group capabilities, benefiting both clients of Gene and the firm.

“I have always put my clients first,” said Gene, “and I look forward to leveraging the client-focused culture and cross-serving opportunities at Goulston & Storrs. This is the right firm for me to help my clients continue to consistently outperform in the marketplace.”  

Gene received his J.D., magna cum laude, from Boston University Law School and his B.A., cum laude, from Boston University. Gene will share his time between the Boston and New York offices. He is admitted to practice in both Boston and New York.
