Casey D. O’Connell

Casey O’Connell brings an ethic for hard work and a propensity for effective organization to his clients’ matters in the areas of business and commercial law, finance, and real estate. For those who are forming a business, financing a business, buying a business, or taking additional steps along their path to success, Casey is fully committed to providing practical legal advice. He is efficient because he respects clients’ time, and he delivers on his commitments because he is personally involved—qualities that make him a trusted advisor.

Acquisitions are an area in which Casey demonstrates his efficiency and diligence. He has a depth of experience in documenting and closing business transactions, as well as formulating contractual mechanisms to facilitate the organization, financing, operation and sale of various business entities. His approach engenders trust. Notably, after guiding a company through a simultaneous closing of an equity financing and business acquisition, the company indicated their confidence in the partnership by retaining Casey as general counsel.

Casey delivers excellence to lenders and borrowers in the documentation and execution of secured and unsecured loans and credit arrangements. With an understanding of their ultimate goals, he advises employers in the creation of employment and non-compete agreements. In addition, he advises a wide range of businesses on contractual matters and real estate acquisitions.

Casey has a long history of contributing to the success of winning teams. Before entering law school, he was the director of media relations for the New England Patriots, handling the organization’s written media materials and helping to create and implement public relations strategies.
