Catherine S. Lombardo

Catherine’s practice encompasses a wide variety of complex commercial litigation, including securities litigation, contract disputes, and government investigations. She represents a broad range of clients across diverse industries in all stages of litigation, from discovery to appeal, and sits on the steering committee for the Boston Bar Association’s Business & Commercial Law section.

She is an active member of Mintz's Appellate Practice Group, where she regularly advises clients on all aspects of appellate strategy. She works collaboratively alongside trial counsel to preserve critical issues for appeal and to secure victories for clients in federal and state appellate courts throughout the United States. Her significant experience clerking in Massachusetts and familiarity with the appellate rules and single justice procedure make her an asset to any case proceeding in the Commonwealth. She is a contributing author for MCLE New England’s Appellate Practice in Massachusetts and has been included on Boston Magazine’s Top Lawyers list in the Appellate practice specialty group.

In addition, Catherine maintains an active pro bono practice and has provided legal assistance to survivors of domestic violence, tenants navigating eviction proceedings, and persons seeking to seal or expunge their criminal records. Community Legal Aid and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court have recognized Catherine for her significant pro bono work and included her on their pro bono honor rolls.

Before joining Mintz, she served as a law clerk to the Honorable Elspeth B. Cypher, Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the Honorable Eric Neyman, Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Appeals Court, and the justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court.

During law school, Catherine was a law clerk for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company’s in-house counsel, a judicial intern for the now-retired Honorable Bonnie H. MacLeod of the Massachusetts Superior Court, and a law clerk for the Massachusetts Division of Administrative Law Appeals. Catherine also served as the executive articles editor of the New England Law Review and received the New England Scholar Award every semester.
