Rubin Rudman Bolsters Its Litigation Ranks with Kristen Skrajewski

New hire announced: Kristen Skrajewski joins Rubin Rudman as litigation associate

Rubin Rudman has added Kristen Skrajewski to its litigation team, the firm announced. Skrajewski joins Rubin Rudman as a litigation associate, with the appointment taking effect immediately, according to the firm’s announcement. The hire enlarges the firm’s bench in Boston and brings another lawyer with hands-on civil litigation experience into the group.

Skrajewski’s legal background and areas of focus

Skrajewski arrives from Morrison Mahoney LLP, where she worked as a civil litigator. During her time there she handled a variety of court-side and pretrial work common to civil litigation — from drafting motions and briefs to managing discovery and preparing for hearings. Her practice focused on resolving disputes for clients in contested matters rather than transactional or regulatory work.

Her resume highlights steady work in the courtroom and behind the scenes on case preparation. That kind of mix — courtroom exposure plus the day-to-day drafting and client-facing work — is especially valuable at firms that handle business disputes and other contested matters. The announcement also notes standard professional credentials, signaling she brings the usual combination of education and bar admission required for this sort of role.

How she will fit into Rubin Rudman’s litigation group

Rubin Rudman’s litigation practice covers a range of commercial and civil disputes, and the firm said Skrajewski will slot into that existing structure. As a litigation associate she is expected to take on tasks that support senior trial lawyers: managing discovery, drafting and opposing motions, preparing witnesses, and representing clients in routine court settings. Associates at this level also often lead parts of the fact-gathering process and handle client updates and strategy work under partner supervision.

That combination of duties makes Skrajewski a practical hire for a firm that wants litigators who can do both the heavy lifting on cases and show up in court. Her experience at a well-established Boston firm gives her local procedural knowledge and contacts that help in the kind of regional litigation work Rubin Rudman handles. In short, she strengthens the middle ranks of the litigation team and adds capacity for firms facing heavier caseloads or looking to expand in particular practice areas.

Firm statement and reaction to the hire

In its announcement Rubin Rudman welcomed Skrajewski to the team and said the hire increases the firm’s litigation bench. The firm framed the move as part of steady recruiting to support client work in Boston. The release did not dwell on specific cases she handled at her prior firm, instead focusing on experience and the practical value she brings.

Locally, lateral hires like this are seen as routine but telling: law firms in Boston have been competing for lawyers who combine courtroom experience with strong litigation drafting skills. For colleagues and potential clients, Skrajewski’s arrival signals Rubin Rudman’s intent to maintain hands-on litigation capacity rather than rely solely on senior partners or outside counsel for routine court work.
