Charles E. Miller

Here’s why you’ll enjoy working with him.

A natural-born leader with a passion for bringing out the best in his colleagues, Charlie was the CEO of Bernstein Shur from 2003 to 2013. For four decades, Charlie has represented entrepreneurs, companies, and institutional developers alike, helping them find ways to strengthen and expand their businesses. Today, he has a broad practice spanning every facet of real estate law and provides counsel on business, corporate governance, and succession planning.

Charlie is an experienced counselor and tireless advocate for clients, but it’s his personal dedication to others that sets him apart. He is incredibly accessible; he volunteers for a range of civic and charitable organizations; and he serves as a mentor, teacher, and friend to countless members of his community. It’s no wonder Charlie’s had some of his clients for his entire career.

But that’s not all. Charlie is also very experienced in:

• The full spectrum of real estate law, from acquisition, disposition, financing, and leasing to the management and development of properties
• Drafting complex leases and contracts for small and large offices, as well as retail, industrial, and mixed-use spaces
• Asset and stock sales and purchases
• Investment banker selection
• Formation of corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, joint ventures and other business structures
• Entity planning, and strategy and succession planning

In his former life, Charlie was:

An English teacher, state champion debate coach, and guidance counselor in Central Maine. President Robert Clark of Husson University; Erik Lehtis, President of Dynamic FX Consulting; financial entrepreneur Todd Robinson; and, Father William Clark, SJ, professor at Holy Cross University have all been coached in debate by him.

When Charlie isn’t working, he is…

Serving on a number of community, civic, and charity boards (see the full list below) and helping those organizations plan and fundraise. Charlie also has plenty of musical talent; he’s a guitar player and a song leader. When not practicing or performing music, he can be found reading about politics or absorbed in a mystery novel.
