Dustin Hecker

Litigation of disputes often is necessary. Often, however, it really isn’t. That’s where I can help. I litigated and tried many kinds of commercial cases for 40 years before retiring from “the active practice of law” in 2023. I began my legal practice in NYC at what was then known as Kaye Scholer (now a part of Arnold & Porter) before moving to Boston in 1986. In Boston, I was an associate of and then a partner in McDermott Will & Emery before joining Posternak Blankstein & Lund in 1994. After Posternak merged with ArentFox (now ArentFox Schiff) in 2019, I continued to handle business matters until my retirement. In addition to mediating private disputes, I volunteer as a mediator in the Massachusetts state courts through MWI Inc. I am on the American Arbitration Association’s panel of mediators as well as its Commercial and Construction arbitration panels. My other (current) volunteer activities include as a member of the board of directors and the finance and governance committees of Communities for Restorative Justice, Inc., a Legal Fellow and member of the Massachusetts Advisory Council of the New England Legal Foundation, and a member of the Massachusetts attorney network for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
