Bacon Wilson Names Timothy Netkovick, Ryan O’Hara Shareholders

SPRINGFIELD — Bacon Wilson, P.C. announced that attorneys Timothy Netkovick and Ryan O’Hara have been named shareholders of the firm, effective Jan. 1. These promotions reflect the firm’s continued commitment to recognizing outstanding legal skill, leadership, and dedication to client service.

Netkovick joined Bacon Wilson in April 2022 and has quickly become an integral member of the firm. His practice focuses on employment law and general litigation. He brings more than 20 years of experience in commercial litigation and employment law, advising and representing clients across a wide range of industries.

“Tim brings a wealth of experience, sound judgment, and a client-focused approach to every matter he handles,” Managing Shareholder Jeffrey Fialky said. “His depth of knowledge in employment and commercial litigation, combined with his professionalism and leadership, make him a tremendous asset to our firm and our clients.”

Netkovick earned his bachelor’s degree from American International College and his juris doctorate from Western New England University School of Law. He regularly represents clients before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He is admitted to practice in both Massachusetts and Connecticut state courts, as well as the U.S. District Courts for the districts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Vermont.

O’Hara joined Bacon Wilson in the summer of 2015 as an intern in the litigation department, working with Shareholder Mark Tanner. He later participated in the firm’s law clerk program during the 2016-17 academic year. Following a clerkship with Justice Jeffrey Kinder of the Massachusetts Appeals Court, O’Hara returned to Bacon Wilson and began his career as an associate attorney in September 2018.

“Ryan’s evolution within the firm — starting as a law clerk, then as an associate attorney, and now as a shareholder — has been exceptional,” Fialky said. “His strong analytical skills, work ethic, litigation tenacity, and commitment to achieving results for clients exemplify the values of Bacon Wilson. We are proud to call Ryan our partner.”

O’Hara received his bachelor’s degree cum laude from Tufts University and his juris doctorate summa cum laude from Western New England University School of Law. His practice encompasses significant experience in contract and business matters, land use litigation, personal injury and accident cases, as well as appellate matters. He is admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Federal District of Massachusetts, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals, and currently serves on the board of directors for the Hampden County Bar Assoc.
