History

Foley Hoag was founded in 1943 by Henry Foley and Garrett Hoag, who shared a vision to revolutionize the culture of the legal profession. At the time, most law firms were exclusionary and rigid, and rewarded conformity rather than innovative thinking; Foley and Hoag instead believed a firm that valued creative, critical thinking and individual merit would foster broad-based success and evolution. The firm states it has established deep roots in the Boston-area entrepreneurial and technological communities, working with these organizations from inception through financing, growth and maturity. Its distinguished alumni include global business leaders, general counsel of leading companies, a U.S. senator, a U.S. ambassador, accomplished state policy leaders, university presidents and the first African-American partner at a Boston law firm. The firm invests in its local and global communities through endeavors such as the Foley Hoag Foundation. It is a member of Lex Mundi, described as the world's leading association of independent law firms, operating in 100 countries on five continents, and is the sole Massachusetts member.
