Leigh A. Panettiere

Ms. Panettiere has been with the firm since 1999. She attended Boston College and Boston College Law School, and has been a member of the Bar since 1991. Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Panettiere was an Administrative Law Judge at the Massachusetts Labor Relations Commission and in-house counsel to the Alliance, AFSCME/SEIU Local 509. She is a partner at Sandulli Grace, P.C.

Like her fellow Sandulli Grace attorneys, Ms. Panettiere has been involved in labor law education courses throughout her career, including a year as Co-Chair of B.B.A. Labor Committee, and memberships on both the MBA and the BBA's Labor Section Councils. She has chaired and spoken at many educational seminars regarding public sector labor law. She participates every year in the firm's educational seminar for police officers at the Sheraton, Framingham, as well as educational programs for various client conferences, such as the Massachusetts Coalition of Police, AFL-CIO's convention in the fall, and the Massachusetts Teachers Association's Williamstown Conference in the summer.

Ms. Panettiere lives in Somerville, Massachusetts with her husband and son. Besides her advocacy and educational activities on behalf of public sector labor unions, she is perhaps best known among colleagues for traveling across the country on a motorcycle in the summer of 1999, something she would recommend that everyone do once. She can usually be found jogging early on weekday mornings, and enjoying Somerville's diverse community and nightlife on the weekends.
