Miller & Shortsleeve, LLP is a boutique business law firm located in Osterville, Massachusetts. The firm also has an office in the Boston suburb of Waltham, Massachusetts. Miller & Shortsleeve, LLP (formerly Miller & Harrington, LLP) was founded in February of 2006 by Bill Miller and Larry Harrington. Bill Miller has been honored as a Massachusetts Super Lawyer in the field of mergers and acquisitions in annual polls of members of the Massachusetts bar conducted by Boston Magazine and Law & Politics. Prior to founding the firm, Bill Miller was a partner and Larry Harrington was senior counsel in the Boston office of a large international law firm. Cathleen Shortsleeve, who spent many years in both private practice and teaching business law at Boston College, joined the firm as a partner in 2008, after the death of Larry Harrington. Mark Sullivan, formerly a corporate and securities law partner in a large law firm, is also Of Counsel to the firm. What makes Miller & Shortsleeve, LLP unique is that it offers clients decades of large law firm experience and expertise, combined with the accessibility and value of a smaller law firm.

The firm limits its practice to business law, including advising startups and early stage companies; private company mergers and acquisitions; venture capital and private equity financings; executive compensation, including equity incentive and phantom equity plans; preparation and negotiation of business contracts; intellectual property protection and licensing; representation of borrowers in loan transactions; and entity and investment fund formations, including real estate investment funds, leveraged buyout funds and hedge funds. The firm's clients are primarily private companies, including start-ups and early stage technology companies, and investors in private companies. The firm also does special project work for a $7 billion public company and several other institutional clients. The firm's clients do business throughout the United States and in several foreign countries.

The practice of law has become much like the practice of medicine. It requires specialized experience and expertise in order to achieve the best results and to avoid serious mistakes. Large law firms have always provided such experience and expertise, but the cost of supporting a large law firm's infrastructure and profit expectations has driven their billing rates to unprecedented levels. Furthermore, in large law firms, smaller clients and projects do not always command the attention of the most experienced attorneys. Miller & Shortsleeve, LLP is well positioned to offer a viable alternative to clients by combining large law firm experience and expertise with the accessibility and value of a smaller law firm. The firm prides itself on providing creative solutions to client problems in a timely and cost effective manner.
