With the two entities teaming up, and offices in both Lynn and Lynnfield, the team can negotiate and counsel clients through the entire homebuying experience. 

The partnership allows both firms “to gain additional business contacts and clients locally on the North Shore to complement their strong foothold in the Lynn, Lynnfield, Greater Boston, the South Shore and Metrowest regions.,” according to a press release. “The merger also creates an opportunity for each firm to offer additional services that hadn’t before been offered, but where there was a clear interest.”

“A strategic partnership with Peter Gizzi and Cherry Tree Title gives us the support, guidance, and shared vision to achieve our goal developing a powerhouse regional Title Company and parallel law firm focusing on individuals and small business owners,” said Brendan Ward, managing partner, Cherry Tree Legal in a company release.

Cherry Tree Legal is led by Ward, along with attorneys Dan Cahill and Gizzi. They are joined by attorneys Nancy Theodore, Jacob Simon, Nathaniel Spinney, Douglas Sheehan, Alan Chow, Jerry Parisella and Daniel Hunt, along with four paralegals.

“This merger allows Cherry Tree Title to offer our expanding client base a group of seasoned and polished conveyancers,” Gizzi said. “Additionally, Cherry Tree Title will now offer the existing client base services for commercial transactions as well as residential. I think being able to provide additional and important legal services, such as estate planning, to our clients will be a real asset as well.”
