by | Sep 14, 2021 | Business, Featured

Hopkinton’s Thomas Bond was elected president of the Massachusetts Bar Association for the 2021-22 membership year, which began Sept. 1.

“If you’re a lawyer in Massachusetts, there is no better home for you than the Massachusetts Bar Association, regardless of who you are, where you’re from or what kind of law you practice,” Bond said via a press release from the organization. “I am looking forward to working with and being a resource to all communities. We need the depth and breadth of what diverse people can bring to our organization, and I feel strongly that their voices, perspectives and experiences will make our organization stronger.”

Bond is a founder and managing partner of the Kaplan/Bond Group in Boston. A trial lawyer and admiralty lawyer who has specialized in maritime and construction personal injury litigation for 35 years, Bond’s trial practice includes admiralty and maritime law, construction, product liability, automobile, personal injury and general liability.

In addition to serving as MBA president, Bond is a member of the MBA’s Executive Management Board and Budget & Finance Committee. Bond served as co-chair of the MBA’s COVID Response Task Force, which worked with the courts and the bar to establish guidelines for the operation of the courts and provided daily notifications to the legal community of rules and court changes during the pandemic. He also has served as a chair of the MBA’s Judicial Diversity Task Force and as chair of the MBA’s Judicial Administration Section, where he also chaired the section’s Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Diversity, which successfully introduced a resolution at the MBA’s House of Delegates supporting efforts to increase diversity in the court system. Over the past year, he has continued his efforts to improve the legal system by bringing judges and lawyers together, moderating a bench-bar forum with the Flaschner Judicial Institute and also a question-and-answer forum with the chief justices of the Trial and Superior courts and other judges on reducing stressors in the courtroom.

A native of Charlton who graduated from Northeastern University in 1982 and Suffolk University Law School in 1985, Bond has lived in Hopkinton for 26 years. He and his wife have two grown daughters and a chocolate Lab rescue dog.
