Local law firm Shatz, Schwartz and Fentin P.C. has been selected for the 2027 Chambers Spotlight Massachusetts Guide, earning recognition in both Corporate/Commercial and Trusts & Estates. The firm is the only Western Massachusetts firm selected in the Corporate/Commercial category and the only firm from the region recognized in Trusts & Estates.
Chambers Spotlight is part of Chambers and Partners, a leading independent legal research and rankings organization whose guides are widely used by legal professionals and clients seeking information about law firms and legal talent. Chambers’ rankings are based on independent research, including feedback from clients and other market sources, along with an assessment of a firm’s experience, expertise and recent work.
Unlike rankings based primarily on firm size or financial performance, Chambers evaluates factors such as legal ability, client service, the caliber of a firm’s team and its understanding of clients’ business needs. Chambers’ Spotlight guide was created specifically to recognize exceptional small and mid-sized firms with strong regional and practice-area expertise.
Chambers describes Shatz, Schwartz and Fentin’s Corporate/Commercial practice as representing lenders and privately held businesses in a range of matters, with particular strength in commercial finance and real estate.
“We are honored to be recognized by Chambers for a second consecutive year,” said Attorney Michael Fenton, a shareholder at Shatz, Schwartz and Fentin. “This recognition reflects the depth of experience across our firm and the work we do for businesses, families and individuals throughout Western Massachusetts and beyond.”
The 2027 recognition builds on the firm’s selection in the inaugural Chambers Spotlight Massachusetts Guide in 2026. Shatz, Schwartz and Fentin remains recognized for its work serving businesses and individuals through its corporate, commercial, real estate, trusts and estates and other legal practices.
