Experienced Project Managers

Often, law firms find that they do not have the resources to staff and manage hosted legal review.  When these firms turn to contract attorneys and other temporary personnel to conduct legal review, there are a host of considerations around maintaining consistency in the review process, providing accurate results according to client expectations, as well as meeting strict timelines and tight budgets. 

CambridgePartners provides a wide array of service and staffing solutions for its corporate and law firm partners.  Not only does Cambridge provide value-added consulting solutions and experienced contract attorneys but we also make experienced team leaders and project managers available for projects and legal document review.

Cynthia began her legal career with a Boston-based, boutique litigation firm where she focused on high-stakes, post-disaster litigation in the utility industry.  She rose to senior associate status, and worked in all phases of the litigation process from pleadings and discovery through depositions, hearings and mediations as well as trial preparation.  Cynthia received her law degree magna cum laude from New England School of Law in 1999.  An honor graduate of Penn State University, Cynthia also earned an MA in clinical psychology (with a perfect 4.0 GPA) prior to attending law school.  She brings reliability, intelligence, experience and intuition to every assignment, making her one of the premier members of the Cambridge team.
