Whitney K. Barrows

Whitney has represented clients ranging from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies, serving on National Coordinating Counsel teams in both asbestos and talc litigations and as local counsel for companies throughout New England. Her expertise and standing among peers led to her invitation to join both the Massachusetts Executive Committee and Discovery Committee for asbestos litigation — leadership positions through which she drives strategy and effectuates change that influences how cases and entire dockets are managed. Whitney also served for many years as part of the Defendants’ Liaison Counsel in Massachusetts, placing her at the forefront of significant, system-wide issues.

Whitney’s investment in the future of the profession is equally evident — she has coordinated the Young Lawyers Breakout Sessions of the Defense Research Institute’s Asbestos Medicine Seminar for the past seven years. Outside of the office, she loves to travel and tends to an impressive collection of plants that fill her home and garden.
