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 Department of Labor Relations 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. She is former Chair of the BBA's Labor & Employment Section, and has been a member of both the MBA and the BBA's Labor & Employment 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, 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.

Besides her advocacy and educational activities on behalf of public sector labor unions, Ms. Panettiere is perhaps best known among colleagues for traveling across the country on a motorcycle in the summer of 1999. She lives in Somerville, Massachusetts with her husband and son.
