Our knowledge, experience, and judgment allow us to help clients in the full range of property matters. We handle even the most complex matters in a way that is personal and responsive to our client’s needs. Too often, lawyers stand in the way of getting the deal done. While we will always be determined to protect our clients from realistic threats of loss, we believe in helping you find the balance between risk and reward.

 

Through our interdisciplinary approach, we advise clients on all aspects of real estate transactions, including sales and acquisitions, development, construction, financing, leasing, Qualified Opportunity Zone investments, like-kind exchanges, ownership, operation, and management. In the rapidly changing real estate market, we offer creative solutions to the myriad issues confronting developers, investors, and those owning or operating real estate properties by delivering high-quality legal work that addresses the business objectives of our clients. We also help guide families through the issues of ownership, governance, and succession planning for vacation and other real estate properties.

 

We also provide title insurance policies for commercial and residential property transactions in every county in Maine as an agent for Old Republic Title Insurance Company, First American Title Insurance Company, and CATIC. Our goal is to provide competitive, cost-effective title services to our clients, other local and out of state law firms, and lending institutions.
