One of the key pieces of the work involves networking and cabling for our new computer network and phone system, which will enable our offices to communicate directly and work collaboratively as well as provide enhanced capabilities for our staff to work remotely.

Completion is expected for the fall of 2008.

Sarah comes to us with several years of experience in the financial services and mutual fund industry while Regina is coming on our professional staff after successfully completing an internship with our firm and graduating with her Masters Degree from the University of Maine.

Both Sarah and Gina will be important contributors to our practice as we continue to grow our client base throughout New England.

The new, combined firm will improve our economies of scale, service offerings to our clients, client service, and our overall capabilities as a firm.  With a staff of twenty five, highly trained and experienced professionals, our proven engagement management techniques, and our technology and technical resources MLB will emerge as one of the leading firms on Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts and beyond.

Our Cape Cod office will consolidate its operations out of our Brewster office located at the Orleans-Brewster Office Park on Route 6A at the Orleans & Brewster Town line.  We will continue to serve the remainder of southeastern Massachusetts from our Brockton, Massachusetts office.

Please contact one of our firm partners if you would like to learn more about the exciting opportunities we forsee with our new firm.
