Our Services

CONTRACTS, POLICIES and Compliance

Experienced as general counsel for a small college, Michael Loconto built an in-house legal office by promoting clear institutional policies and stable practices.  Let Fenway Law fill your short-term general needs or craft ad hoc practical solutions for your enterprise needs in  operations and risk management.  Some recent successes:

  • Commercial Contracts: Managed contract review and negotiation processes and related documents for multiple clients across technology, financial services and the craft beer industry
  • Craft Beer Industry:  Negotiated the first known distribution agreement to be implemented in the Massachusetts craft beer industry following reforms to M.G.L. Ch. 138, s. 25E-1/2
  • Privacy: Created compliant website privacy policies for two EdTech startups, with emphasis on FERPA, GDPR, CCPA, FCRA and COPPA regulatory requirements. 
  • Created enterprise data privacy policies (WISP, DMCA, GDPR)
  • Regulatory Relations: Resolved inquiries from government regulators, including the US Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (OCR), the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE) and the Attorney General's Office (AGO) 
  • Policies:  Led operational process improvements for contract management, incident response, record retention, Emotional Support Animals, and campus safety initiatives
  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:  Staffed critical diversity and inclusion initiatives to review the cultural relevance of an institutional mascot, and implemented institutional transgender rights
  • We DO NOT provide advocacy for employees, employers or unions in labor and employment law disputes.

Support for Startups

From tech startups in pre-seed and Series funding to craft brewers moving from the garage to Main Street, we can help leaders to think through critical business organization issues, develop assured data privacy and contracting processes, and support other structural needs that are key to a sustainable organization. 


Our two decades of leadership in local government and education services enable timely business development advice for pre-seed companies in EdTech and GovTech.  


Our work with the Massachusetts Brewers Guild and experience with contracts, leasing, distribution and licensing help new brewers take the next step.

Title IX Process Support

Federal Title IX regulations require educational institutions to maintain policies, practices, and programs that do not discriminate against anyone based on sex. 


Fenway Law can assist institutions to process Title IX and related policy claims as a hearing officer, hearing panel member or factfinder.  We use our extensive experience in K-12 and higher education to take a professional approach to each matter.  We value and support restorative justice practices when all parties can agree to an alternative to formal proceedings.   


We approach each matter with careful discretion, mutual respect and shared trust, sensitive to the dignity of all parties and the long-lasting effects that these claims can have for all involved.
