McCarter & English has added Joseph P. Jaconetta and his four-member team to its trusts, estates and private clients practice. Jaconetta joins the firm’s Hartford office as a partner, along with Special Counsel Alexander J. Grodski, two veteran probate paralegals, and an experienced legal assistant.

The group joins the firm following the addition of 10 lawyers from Burns & Levinson. “The resources and growth at McCarter & English, especially in the private clients area, are very exciting and my team and I look forward to servicing our clients from McCarter’s platform,” said Jaconetta. “McCarter’s expansion in New England will allow us to deliver an even more personalized experience to our clients.”
