Nick Higgins

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

Nick is a versatile business law attorney with a focus on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), particularly in the auto and equipment dealership industries. Over the past few years, Nick has concentrated his practice on representing dealership operators across the Northeast, handling complex, high-value transactions. Nick counseled clients on dealership transactions with an aggregate value exceeding four hundred million dollars in 2024 alone. If you are a dealership owner looking to expand your portfolio, Nick is the trusted advisor you need. Nick has also provided counsel to buyers and sellers of businesses in a variety of industries, including biotechnology, insurance, hospitality, aquaculture, construction, and more.

In addition to assisting his clients buy and sell companies, Nick provides comprehensive legal support in other business areas, including drafting and negotiating commercial contracts.

Nick also plays a key role guiding startups from inception to growth, ensuring a solid legal foundation. He knows this area well because he lived it—before becoming a lawyer, Nick operated a small winery that specialized in mead (honey wine) and hard cider. Over six years, that business grew from a small start-up to an award-winning, top producer in the country, and Nick brings this industry perspective with him when providing counsel to his business clients.

He also advises nonprofits on governance matters. Nick has extensive experience helping nonprofits navigate board of director issues, bylaw reviews, mergers, and winding down operations.

Whether advising on the formation, expansion, acquisition, or sale of companies, Nick is dedicated to guiding clients through every stage of their business lifecycle, providing support and expertise at each step of their journey.

In his former life, Nick was:

• A legal intern for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire
• A legal intern for the Honorable Joseph N. Laplante, Chief Judge at the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire
• Chief Notes Editor for the University of New Hampshire Law Review
• Production manager and owner of an award-winning mead and hard cider winery
