Boston, MA — The State Ethics Commission is pleased to announce the appointment of attorney Eve Slattery as its General Counsel and Legal Division Chief. Attorney Slattery has practiced law for more than two decades and will begin her new position on August 6th.

Wilson, Executive Director of the State Ethics Commission.
The State Ethics Commission administers and civilly enforces the Massachusetts conflict of interest law (G.L. c. 268A) and financial disclosure law (G.L. c. 268B). The Commission’s mission is to foster integrity in public service in state, county and local government; to promote the public's trust and confidence in that service; and to prevent conflicts between private interests and public duties. The Commission is independent and non-partisan.
Attorney Slattery comes to the State Ethics Commission after serving as a partner at Hogan Lovells U.S. LLP. She was previously a partner at Collora LLP, which merged with Hogan Lovells in 2017, and was a member of both firms’ ethics committees. She joined Collora in 1998 and became a partner in 2008. Throughout her career, Attorney Slattery represented clients and businesses in civil and criminal litigation in state, federal, and appellate courts, as well as in administrative hearings before state and federal agencies.
Prior to joining Collora, Attorney Slattery served as Law Clerk to the Hon. Kenneth Laurence in the Massachusetts Appeals Court and was previously a Law Clerk to the justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court. Before beginning her legal career, Attorney Slattery served as Executive Director for the non-profit Kendall Center for the Arts.
