William J. Roberts, co-chair of the firm’s Data Privacy and Protection Practice Group and a partner in the firm's Health Law Practice Group, has earned the Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP) designation from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the world’s largest and most comprehensive global information privacy community. 

The firm is participating in Mansfield Rule 3.0, a year-long certification process requiring law firms to affirmatively consider at least 30 percent women, minority, LGBTQ+ and disabled attorneys (“historically underrepresented lawyers”) for significant governance roles, senior lateral openings, equity partner promotions, and formal client pitches and RFP responses.

Shipman & Goodwin represented Ceruzzi Properties in the second largest New York City real estate transaction recorded for the second week of July 2019, valued at $205 million.

Shipman & Goodwin is proud to mark its centennial anniversary -- a milestone that signifies the firm’s longstanding commitment both to its clients and community. To commemorate its 100-year legacy, the firm plans a series of special events, beginning with a pledge of $250,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford for its new facility.

Shipman & Goodwin has been recognized for the second consecutive year as a Top 10 firm nationwide in two key categories of Law360's Annual Glass Ceiling Report, and has moved up in rank in both categories.

Shipman & Goodwin attorney Michael Chase has published How to Become a Federal Criminal: An Illustrated Handbook for the Aspiring Offender, a new book inspired by his popular, award-winning @CrimeADay Twitter feed. Despite the humorous tone and obvious satire, Chase exposes the more serious and often-absurd results of regulatory overkill.
