Overview
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend, Founding Partner and former Managing Partner, Christopher Weld.
Chris (or “Kit” as his close friends called him) was among the finest, most creative, deep-thinking, extraordinary and respected lawyers in the Boston legal community and beyond. Chris practiced law for over 42 years, beginning at Hale & Dorr. He later started his own firm, the Law Offices of Christopher Weld in 1988. In April 1992, Chris, and four other former Hale & Dorr lawyers, founded Todd & Weld LLP. Their goal was to build an exceptional trial practice. Under Chris’s leadership, the firm exceeded all expectations.
Far beyond Chris’s legal skills, which were widely recognized through numerous awards, his decency, compassion, judgment and wisdom are all part of his enduring legacy. Chris’s partners often referred to him as “the glue” of our firm, a term which does not begin to capture just how beloved he was by all of us.
