About

I have spent the past 30 years litigating a wide variety of matters, principally in business litigation and professional liability. This includes many jury trials in the state and federal courts. In recent years, I also have represented numerous executives, many at the CEO and EVP/SVP level, in employment and severance matters. I am national counsel for a major professional liabilty insurer and outside general counsel for a major Massachusetts business active in the construction industry.Interests include spending time with my two daughters and reading, sports, and art. When I visit a new city, I check first to see what sporting events are in town and failing an opportunity there, will visit the local art museum. Favorites: The Louvre, National Gallery, Metropolitan, and MOMA. Most recent reading "find" is Haruki Murakami, perhaps Japan's most noted novelist today.

I have had representation from Russ in 2 cases recently regarding employment contracts. My experience with Russ is that he listens with profound openness, advises from a place of competence, compassion, and extensive depth of knowledge, and then allows the client to make her own decisions. After sharing with Russ my wishes, and the context for my path forward, he has been incredibly supportive, staying committed to what I am committed to - not just the "what" but the "how". Classy, professional, diligent, full of integrity he inspires trust and confidence. His heart and head are completely committed. I highly recommend Russ. He has become such a blessing in my life.

I was very lucky to be represented by Russell in an employment-related case this past year. In a highly stressful matter, Russell was not only completely thorough, competent, and professional in his representation of me, but he was also incredibly personable and compassionate during what he knew was a very difficult time for me. Even though my case happened at one of the busiest times in Russell's year, he seemed to be personally invested in the outcome of my case, and made me feel like I was his only client. He is incredibly responsive, and is both thorough and thoughtful in all of his correspondence. His expertise and his honest approach with me and the case put me instantly at ease. I highly recommend Russell Conn, and will continue to depend on his legal guidance moving forward.

I have had the pleasure of working with Russell Conn since 2004. Russell and his firm have provided counsel to me both professionally and personally. I have relied on his expertise in employment law to support my search firm, Tomer Search Group, Inc. since it's inception in 2004. His firm was instrumental in the negotiation and creation of a complicated partnership agreement. His firm has also represented my family interests as well. In every instance, Russell and his firm have demonstrated their incredible talent and have represented me to my complete satisfaction. On a personal level, Russ is pleasant, accommodating and calm under pressure. He is responsive and available 24/7. He is easy to engage and takes the time to understand not only the legal issues but the personal nuances as well. Russell has won my respect, my business and most importantly, my trust.

Attorney Russ Conn is not only an excellent attorney but highly responsible and responsive to you. He is a straight shooter who informs you of your risks and rewards in litigation and honestly evaluates if you should pursue a case or not. I have used Mr. Conn in several trials and he has been successful in both cases, even one which the likely outcome was in doubt. His courtroom performance was masterful and played out like a Perry Mason courtroom drama!
