My name is John P. Connell and I have been practicing law for twenty years. Before I became an attorney, I spent ten years in the Massachusetts restaurant business holding such positions as dishwasher, busboy, waiter and bartender. From this experience, I gained a lifelong appreciation and understanding of the restaurant businesses. In addition to my civil litigation practice, my firm concentrates in the representation of businesses in the food and beverage industry, such as foreign wineries, alcoholic beverage wholesalers, brokers and Massachusetts restaurants and liquor stores. My experience in litigation and arguing in court has complimented my ability to support clients in the food and beverage industry, since often their compliance and transactional needs are often rooted in a dispute with regulators, landlords, vendors, employees or fellow owners. Should you need an attorney on your side through a dispute arising out of the food and beverage industry, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.
