Woburn, MA - Murray, Kelly & Bertrand, P.C., a multi-service law firm, has moved from Unicorn Park in Woburn into more than 5,000 square feet of space at Cummings Properties' TradeCenter 128.

Murray, Kelly & Bertrand focuses on civil litigation in state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels. Its areas of expertise include medical malpractice, professional, product, liquor, premises, environmental, general and commercial liabilities; workers' compensation; and insurance coverage. Attorneys affiliated with the firm also represent clients in significant commercial real estate transactions.

According to officials, the firm's attorneys also have significant experience in the representation of professional clients before various regulatory and disciplinary agencies within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, including the Boards of Registration in Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, Psychiatry and the Board of Bar Overseers.

Managing partner and co-founder, Philip E. Murray, Jr., was attracted to TradeCenter 128 by the quality of the first-class building and its proximity to the Middlesex County Superior Courthouse. "We really liked the overall look and feel of the building, and excellent access to the court was a highly attractive, additional feature for us," he said.

The Middlesex County Superior Court moved from Cambridge last year and occupies its own 140,000 square foot building in the TradeCenter 128 campus that includes 15 courtrooms, jury deliberation rooms, clerks' offices, judges' chambers and the Middlesex Law Library. The courthouse building also provides office space for staff of the Middlesex District Attorney's Office and the Committee for Public Counsel Services as well as space designated for victims/witnesses and bar advocates.

Derek Cook, Cummings Properties' leasing director, represented it in the lease transaction. Murray, Kelly & Bertrand represented itself.
