Born in Maine. Built for wherever you do business.
Bernstein Shur was founded in Portland in 1915. Ever since then we’ve been growing, evolving, and leading from the heart of Maine’s business and legal community.
Our headquarters sits in the heart of downtown, just steps from the courthouse, the working waterfront, and some of the best food in the country. Our 100+ attorneys and professionals work in more than 20 critical areas of the law—from complex litigation, business, and real estate matters to high-stakes regulatory, construction, energy, and public affairs issues.
But we’re more than just a full-service law firm. We’re a team of tireless advocates and civic leaders. And we’re proud to be consistently ranked among the very best firms in the state and broader New England region.
This is where Bernstein Shur began, and it’s where we continue to push forward—on behalf of our clients, our communities, and each other.
