tandard Title & Escrow, a boutique law firm specializing in residential and commercial real estate transactions, has appointed seasoned attorney Rick Dunn as Partner, effective September 1, 2025. This move marks a significant step in the firm's expansion across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

    Dunn will oversee operations at Standard's newly opened office in Westford, MA, while supporting the existing presence in Nashua, NH. His appointment reflects the firm's strategic efforts to grow its regional footprint while maintaining its high-touch, client-first philosophy.

    "Rick's extensive experience and proven track record in complex real estate transactions will elevate our service offerings," said Jim Richards, Managing Partner at Standard Title & Escrow. "He embodies our core values of Responsiveness, Personable, Quality, Knowledgeable, and Gratitude, making him an ideal addition to our team."

    With over 20 years of experience, Dunn brings expertise in transactional matters including acquisitions, sales, financing, and development. He has represented thousands of clients across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

    "I'm thrilled to join Standard Title & Escrow and contribute to their mission of providing exceptional real estate legal services," said Rick Dunn. "The firm's reputation for combining personalized attention with sophisticated expertise aligns perfectly with my approach."

    Dunn's arrival signals a new chapter for Standard as the firm continues to balance boutique-level client service with large-scale operational capacity. The new Westford office expands Standard's ability to serve the fast-growing Merrimack Valley and Greater Lowell areas, while its Nashua location strengthens the firm's presence in southern New Hampshire.

    Standard Title & Escrow's leadership says the expansion is driven by a rising demand for high-quality, responsive legal support in fast-paced property markets—something Dunn is uniquely positioned to deliver.
