Kenneth J. Paradis, Esq.
Chief Executive Officer

After an early emphasis in public service as a Special Assistant Attorney General to the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents defending its Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund and Chief of Staff for the eleven agencies within the Massachusetts Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Ken quickly found his true calling as an entrepreneur and consultant within the workers’ compensation, disability, and MSP compliance industries. 

Blending his insiders’ knowledge, legal expertise, and business acumen to the nation’s second injury funds, Ken’s first venture, Alternative Risk Concepts, Inc. (“ARC”), has capitalized on hundreds of millions of dollars in untapped recovery and reserve reduction opportunities for its clients. From humble beginnings in the back room of a law firm in 1999, ARC counts household name, top five largest insurers, TPAs and self-insured corporations as its clients. With a mix of appellate victories, legal/business process enhancement, and the hands-on negotiation of thousands of second injury fund cases, ARC has frequently changed its client’s expectations on the possibilities of recoveries for the nation’s second injury funds with particular focus on the New York Special Funds. 

Teaming up with co-founder Michael Crowe in 2002, Ken also launched Crowe Paradis & Albren (CP&A) to capitalize on SSDI advocacy opportunities for claimants and disability carriers throughout the country. With contracts held with six of the top ten long term disability carriers in the country, CP&A has experienced explosive growth and now stands poised to move from the nation’s second largest single SSDI advocacy company in the country to the top position in the near future. Here again, the application of business solutions to legal challenges in a niche industry continue to provide tremendous opportunities. As with all of the ventures, the tremendous talents of nearly 100 employees have both propelled CP&A's growth as well as maintained its focus on quality. 

Ken is currently the Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of Crowe Paradis Services Corporation (“CPSC”), a Medicare Secondary Payer statute compliance corporation for the workers’ compensation industry. CPSC is Ken’s third venture and is experiencing explosive growth in the same manner as the other organizations. The same recipe of relentless focus on demonstrable customer service, meaningful empowerment of employees, excellence in process and execution, as well as branding a unique, quality product have proven to translate well.   

A native Bostonian, Ken earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in Classics, History and Political Theory with Honors from the Colorado College in 1990. He is a recipient of the US Congressional Truman Scholarship as well as former Scholar-In-Residence of its Foundation. Ken graduated from the University of Notre Dame School of Law in 1994 while serving on the editorial board of the Journal of College and University Law.  

Currently, Ken serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Society of Workers’ Compensation Professionals as well as Vice Chairman of the Board of the Crowe Paradis Holding Company. He also serves as a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council for the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents and the Boston Labor Guild. Ken is a member of the Massachusetts, District of Columbia, and First Circuit Court of Appeals bar associations.
