Nick Gray has been in legal practice since 1999, joining Rubin and Rudman in January 2001, following an extensive career in software development, programming, and systems analysis. While the two careers may seem to be polar opposites, Nick maintains that the logic and linear thinking that one must apply to software development and analysis is identical to the process of meeting with clients and then creating terms of a trust or will that meet their individual needs. "Different language, different tools perhaps, but the same kind of thinking," he asserts.

The 10th generation in a family of lawyers, Nick initially seemed headed towards a career in music-as a choral singer. Today, music is a passion that occupies his free time instead, as an active member (along with his youngest son) in the Choir of Men & Boys at The Parish of All Saints in the Ashmont neighborhood of Dorchester, Massachusetts.

As an attorney, Nick takes special pleasure in being "directly helpful" to people. "I enjoy drafting wills and trusts: the challenge is to understand each client's family dynamics and special needs so we can work together to create tools that address their unique situation. There's even great satisfaction in helping settle estates because I know that I'm helping my clients deal with both the financial and emotional repercussions of a death."

Nick and his wife Elisabeth make their home in Milton with their two sons, John and Andrew. When not working or singing, Nick avidly pursues his interest in history and theology.
