Hanly
Paul J. Hanly Jr., shareholder with top asbestos firm Simmons Hanly Conroy, died May 22 at his home after a battle with anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Hanly, 70, is remembered as an accomplished litigator after a 40-year career.
“There are no words to fully capture what the legal community has lost or the impact he had on our lives, especially my own. It will be Paul’s magnanimous spirit, his championing of his clients and colleagues, and his unflinching kindness and decency that will live on in the hearts and minds of all fortunate enough to have known him,” said Jayne Conroy in a tribute by Hanly’s firm Simmons Hanly Conroy. Conroy has been Hanly’s law partner for more than 30 years.
