BOSTON — Hinckley Allen recently welcomed Katie McDonough as a partner in the firm’s Corporate & Business Transactions and Trusts & Estates practice groups. McDonough brings a wealth of experience advising clients on transactions, corporate structure, business planning and risk management, and trusts and estates. She was previously a partner at Egan, Flanagan & Cohen in Springfield.

“Katie is a superb addition to the firm — experienced, practical, with a diverse and growing client base — and we are thrilled to welcome her to Hinckley Allen,” said Patrick Rogers, the firm’s managing partner. “Katie’s deep connections to leading businesses and families throughout New England is another example of Hinckley Allen’s commitment to adding talent and geographic reach to our legal-services platform.”

Earlier this year, Hinckley Allen opened its seventh office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and in July, two prominent real-estate partners joined in Hartford.

“I am very excited to bring my practice to Hinckley Allen,” McDonough said. “I’m impressed by the supportive and collaborative culture at the firm, which is important to me. The firm’s size and geographic reach throughout New England, New York, and Florida will help me capitalize on my connections and experience.”

McDonough counsels a range of clients, including nonprofits, educational institutions, medical and professional service firms, family-owned businesses, and individuals. She provides actionable guidance on transactions and advises on corporate governance, entity formation, employment-law issues, and other business-related legal issues, developing strategies for business growth and long-term success. Additionally, her practice involves drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, representing clients in complex civil litigation, resolving partnership disputes, and assisting with estate planning and probate processes.

McDonough was named to BusinessWest’s 40 Under Forty in 2020 and has been recognized for her accomplishments by Best Lawyers Ones to Watch in Corporate Law since 2021. She is an active Hampden County Bar Assoc. (HCBA) member, having served on the board of directors and various committees, including the pro bono advisory committee and the HCBA legal clinic. She is active in the College of the Holy Cross Alumni Club of the Pioneer Valley. As a military wife, she maintains involvement in the local military veterans’ community; she is also a member of the St. Thomas More Society and serves on the board of the Western Massachusetts Catholic Foundation.
