Eileen E. Brophy

Essential Partner for Complex Boston Real Estate Development

Our firm engaged Eileen Brophy at Nutter McClennen & Fish to guide us through the acquisition and entitlement process for a mixed-use development in a historic Boston neighborhood. The project was immediately mired in complex zoning overlays and community board opposition. Eileen’s deep, practical knowledge of both Boston’s unique land use regulations and the broader Massachusetts real estate law was immediately apparent. She didn’t just recite code; she crafted a strategic, phased approach that addressed preservation concerns while advocating effectively for our project’s viability. Her recognition in Best Lawyers for Land Use and Real Estate Law is well-earned and was a key factor in our selection. Eileen’s professionalism is matched by her personal commitment—she was always accessible, explained every hurdle clearly, and managed stakeholder negotiations with remarkable poise. The result was a fully approved project that met our core objectives without costly delays. She is more than an attorney; she is a strategic advisor who understands that real estate law is about building something tangible. We cannot recommend her highly enough for any sophisticated development or transactional work.
