More Information
Brian M. Casaceli, a labor and employment attorney, has distinguished himself at the law firm Mirick O’Connell, but that’s not a surprise considering how he proved himself before even starting his career. He was recognized as a top political science student at Stonehill College in Easton, where he graduated magna cum laude as an undergraduate, and at Suffolk University Law School, where he graduated summa cum laude, was celebrated as a distinguished oral advocate and named the top bankruptcy law student.
Today, Casaceli specializes in employment litigation, representing employers in court or before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in defense of claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, breach of contract, and wage payment violations. At Mirick O’Connell, where Casaceli has worked for more than six years, he’s made a mark for himself writing and lecturing on employment litigation matters, including a law blog series aimed at the state’s booming craft brewing industry and, more recently, talked about the coronavirus pandemic’s effect on the workplace. He’s led the firm’s summer associate program for the past three years and provided pro bono legal services as part of a partnership between the agency Community Legal Aid and UMass Memorial Health Care in Worcester.
Favorite Central Mass. restaurant? The Flying Rhino. It’s not only a fun place for a drink after work, but the Ivory Tusk chicken cheesesteak is out-of-the-world good!
