Background

About Thomas Donovan

I am an Associate at Melick & Porter, LLP, where I represent individuals, businesses, and insurers in complex civil litigation throughout Massachusetts. My practice focuses on general liability, professional liability, premises liability, transportation and construction litigation, and sexual abuse claims. I joined Melick & Porter in 2016 as a litigation paralegal while attending New England Law | Boston in the Evening Division. After earning my J.D. and passing the Massachusetts Bar, I transitioned to an Associate Attorney role in 2022. Since then, I have second-chaired multiple jury trials, arbitrations, and administrative hearings, and have developed a reputation for delivering thoughtful, strategic, and efficient representation. Whether advising insurers on risk, defending policyholders, or navigating high-exposure claims, I take a practical, solution-oriented approach to each case. I work closely with clients to understand their priorities and develop tailored litigation strategies that align with business and legal objectives.
