Abstract

The legal industry across Maine has been seeing a variety of changes in recent years, including growing staff numbers, migrations between law firms, relocations, the closure of one of Maine's larger firms (Eaton Peabody), new service models, and the expansion of a New Hampshire practice (Absolute Title) into Greater Portland. Verrill (formerly Verrill Dana), with 340 employees, is now the largest law firm in Maine.
