SPRINGFIELD — Andrea Nuciforo Jr. has joined the law firm Bulkley Richardson as a partner. He will continue to represent healthcare, commercial real estate, and corporate clients on matters critical to their businesses.

From 1997 until 2007, Nuciforo served in the Massachusetts State Senate, representing the Berkshire, Hampden, Franklin, and Hampshire district. Over the course of that 10-year period, he served as chair of the Committee on Financial Services and the Committee on Banks & Banking.
