Our Attorneys » David Mason, Associate
Mr. Mason has a broad employment law and civil litigation practice and counsels businesses and educational institutions, both large and small, in dealing with a wide range of employment disputes, ranging from the compliance with employee non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality restrictions to claims brought by employees and former employees under federal and state employment laws. David also has extensive experience litigating complex commercial cases, primarily focusing on contract and business tort (unfair competition, fraud, theft of trade secrets, etc.) disputes between businesses, securities litigation, and matters related to internal corporate governance and shareholder rights, including disputes involving closely-held businesses. In addition, David has assisted clients in conducting internal investigations and responding to governmental regulatory investigations.
Before joining Manchel & Brennan, P.C., David practiced in the Litigation and Labor and Employment practice groups at Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge in Boston. During that time, he also served for six months as a Special Assistant District Attorney with the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office, handling a diverse criminal caseload and representing the Commonwealth in the trial courts on a daily basis, including many trials and evidentiary hearings. His service after law school as a law clerk to the Honorable George A. O’Toole, Jr. in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, gives David an in-depth insight into the litigation process.
