Adam has earned his clients numerous victories in both the New Hampshire Supreme Court and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, including published decisions regarding the interplay between the New Hampshire Right-to-Know Law and the attorney-client privilege, as well as affirming the New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act’s exemption for New Hampshire public utilities.
