Mid-Atlantic plaintiffs firm Seeger Weiss has exited the Boston legal market after four years.
Former Seeger Weiss environmental practice chair Matthew Pawa, who helped launch the firm’s Boston location in 2021 with the help of counsels Benjamin Krass and Wesley Kelman, relaunched his own environmental litigation firm Pawa Law Group P.C. one week ago.
Krass and Kelman, along with associates MacKennan Graziano and Gillian Cowley, left Seeger Weiss to join Pawa’s firm as well, according to the newly reformed firm’s website.
This is not the first time Pawa has run his own firm. Pawa Law Group P.C. stood as an environmental boutique from 2001 to 2017 before Pawa and his team joined Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro.
Pawa did not respond to requests for comment on Friday.
“We are grateful to our clients for their continued trust in our team. Our primary focus remains on suing corporate polluters and wrongdoers but we also are taking on a variety of litigation matters,” he posted on LinkedIn last week.
Seeger Weiss, meanwhile, has continued to grow in 2025, most recently bringing on two attorneys with Big Law backgrounds on April 14. Counsel Jeremy Kasha, previously attorney general for the antitrust bureau of the New York Attorney General’s Office, joined the firm in New York. Employment and class action associate Alana Bevan joined the firm’s Philadelphia office from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
In an emailed statement, Seeger Weiss founding partner Christopher Seeger said, “As our team continues to grow, so has our expertise to best represent those harmed by environmental injustice. We are excited and optimistic about our work and advocacy efforts in this area, and wish Matt and his team the best of luck.”
