Bacon Wilson, P.C. Recognized by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly
SPRINGFIELD — Bacon Wilson, P.C. announced its recognition by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as one of its 2026 In the Lead: Legacy Law Firms. The annual recognition honors law firms that have not only endured for 25 years or more, but have continued to evolve and thrive while maintaining an unwavering commitment to exceptional client service.
Founded in 1895 by George Bacon, Bacon Wilson has grown from a small Springfield practice into one of the largest and most respected full-service law firms in Western Mass. and Northern Conn. Today, the firm is home to 39 attorneys serving individuals, families, businesses, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations from offices in Springfield, Amherst, Northampton, and Westfield.
The recognition celebrates firms that have successfully navigated generations of economic change, technological innovation, and an evolving legal landscape. For more than 130 years, Bacon Wilson has demonstrated adaptability while remaining true to the values on which the firm was founded.
Throughout its history, the firm has reached numerous milestones that have shaped its continued growth. The 1979 merger of Bacon and Wilson marked a pivotal moment in the firm’s evolution, followed by the acquisition of Ellis Title Co. in the 1980s. The expansion of its Springfield headquarters in 2003, strategic mergers with Northampton and Amherst firms in 2005 and 2006, and, most recently, the 2026 integration of Resnic, Beauregard, Waite & Driscoll have further strengthened the firm’s regional presence and comprehensive legal services.
Under the leadership of Managing Shareholder Jeffrey Fialky, Bacon Wilson has continued to invest in its people, technology, and practice areas while responding to the changing needs of clients throughout the region. The firm’s continued growth is reflected in its financial performance, with significant increased annual revenue and operating margins.

While we are proud of our history, we remain focused on the future and on continuing to deliver exceptional legal services for generations to come.”
