Who we are
When establishing Hickey Smith Dodd, our founders had a unique approach in mind: Create a firm that uses a disciplined, technology-enabled approach to managing legal processes–from on-boarding to billing–with a keen focus on strategy and creative problem solving.
We’re different. On purpose.
We set out to be different, right from the start. Today’s chief legal officers and general counsel expect more from their law firms. From efficiency, quality and transparency to insight, ease and control, legal leaders expect their law firms to deliver the value necessary to help them generate results.

Committed to completely rethinking the existing law firm model, we designed and built our practice from the ground up using a revolutionary approach.
