BOSTON and PROVIDENCE, R.I., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hinckley Allen announced today that Patrick A. Rogers, a business lawyer and former chair of the firm's corporate department, will succeed David J. Rubin as Managing Partner effective September 1, 2022.

"It's an honor to work at Hinckley Allen and I'm excited to serve as Managing Partner," Rogers said.  "We have an incredible group of lawyers and staff – and most of all – loyal and satisfied clients who put their trust in us to handle their most important legal matters. David Rubin has done a great job as our Managing Partner for nearly a decade. The firm has enjoyed a period of strong performance in all our markets and four major practice areas: Construction, Litigation, Real Estate, and Corporate. I look forward to building on that record of success and positioning Hinckley Allen for continued growth."

"Our lawyers and team members continue to deliver impressive results for our clients," added Rubin. "Knowing that I was stepping down from my role as Managing Partner, the firm started a thoughtful transition process -- led by a Managing Partner Succession Committee -- to identify our next leader and ensure a seamless transition. We are all confident that Pat has the skills, experience, and vision to help lead the firm into the future. He has the full support of our lawyers and staff, including the Executive Committee and Practice Group leadership."    

Rogers started his legal career as a law school summer associate at Hinckley Allen. Since then he has held a variety of leadership roles. He was an aide to U.S. Senator John H. Chafee and later served as Chief of Staff and Executive Counsel to Governor Lincoln Chafee. At Hinckley Allen, Rogers served as an Executive Committee member and Chair of the firm's Corporate Department. Rogers is a graduate of LaSalle Academy, the College of the Holy Cross, and Catholic University Law School.
