Charlie Reidy joined Ray Kenney and Clem McCarthy at MMM&K in September 1968 after serving a year as a Law Clerk to the Justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court. During that year at the Superior Court, Mr. Reidy clerked for Judge Edward Hennessey who had founded the firm before leaving for the Court and it was Judge Hennessey who recommended Charlie to Ray and Clem. Mr. Reidy graduated from Providence College in 1964 and graduated from Boston College Law School in 1967.
