For him, getting to work on a dynamic slate of cases is a big draw for his focus areas. His decision to specialize in legal malpractice work has a lot to do with his clientele, Duffy explained.
"I love representing lawyers," he said. "They're intelligent, excellent clients, and their cases are always interesting; you get into a new area of law pretty much every time."
The article also stated:
Confidentiality is also important in Duffy's mass tort practice, as it weaves into the potentially sensitive topic of assisted reproduction.
"It's a tricky area of practice," Duffy said. He has been on both sides of mass tort cases, and believes that his ability to see it from the perspectives of the product manufacturer, the lab personnel and the plaintiffs who sought to have a biological child had been helpful for his approach.
