Money Laundering
Companies and individuals who engage in cryptocurrency-related business ventures must often register with the U.S. Department of Treasury as money services businesses or hold state money transmitter licenses. We monitor the evolving federal and state laws that apply in these spaces and can advise clients on their related compliance obligations, which can include the creation and implementation of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) programs.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Mergers and Acquisitions
We counsel a variety of international, national, regional and local financial institution clients, including national banks and state chartered institutions, both depository and non-depository, as well as non-depository lenders and mortgage companies, holding companies, service corporations, charitable foundations and other affiliated entities. We regularly provide operational and regulatory assistance, as well as guidance in the areas of corporate structure, taxation, mergers and acquisitions, lending, deposit and trust operations, and vendor contracting and procurement documentation.
Business Disputes
As one of Maine’s leading business law firms, Perkins Thompson is well known for providing legal services of the highest caliber to businesses and businesspeople. Our attorneys have experience and expertise in all facets of business and commercial law, including transactions of all sizes and types. Bringing to bear a collective body of expertise developed through years of practice and dedication to advancing our clients’ interests, we deliver results in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Business Transactions
We also spend much of our time evaluating and minimizing our clients’ environmental risks as they pursue and complete real estate and business transactions that involve the transfer of contaminated or potentially contaminated properties. Our expertise extends to a host of federal environmental laws, including CERCLA (also known as the “Superfund” law), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and the Clean Water Act, including federal point source discharge laws, and their Maine law counterparts, including the Maine Uncontrolled Sites Law, the Maine Oil Pollution Liability Act, the Maine hazardous waste laws, and the Maine Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES). We regularly assist clients with environmental due diligence in connection with acquisitions, mergers, and the sales of commercial and industrial properties. We advocate for our clients in connection with sale or lease agreements in which there are complicated allocations of environmental liability, and advise clients on a range of environmental issues including the closing out of environmental escrow accounts or the exercise of indemnification provisions.
Construction Contracts
We regularly represent developers, lenders, architects, engineers, owners, municipalities, general contractors, and subcontractors in legal issues regarding construction projects throughout New England. Our construction law team can draft and negotiate construction contracts to help prevent disputes from arising. When disputes do arise, the construction law team has extensive experience prosecuting and defending disputes in state and federal courts, and in arbitration and mediation.
Intellectual Property
Antitrust

Employment Litigation
In the event of a claim or other dispute, we are experienced in providing skilled and thorough defense. In addition to the mediation and arbitration of employment disputes, we handle matters in state and federal courts and before state and federal administrative agencies, including the EEOC, OSHA, USDOL, NLRB, and state human rights agencies.

Real Estate Litigation
® for Real Estate Law. Gordon Scannell is recognized for Real Estate Law by Chambers USA and Who’s Who Legal, and is co-author of Maine Real Estate Law and Practice 2nd ed. (2007).
Construction Litigation
In the construction business, every action has a domino effect. If trouble develops in one part of the job, the entire project suffers. A bid protest, a mechanic’s lien, a bond claim — any one of these can stop a project in its tracks, causing even more problems down the chain. As construction law attorneys, we understand how to achieve practical and efficient business solutions to these issues.
Real Estate Transactions
Perkins Thompson has been our go-to firm for real estate transactions and environmental and land use permitting. They have found effective legal and business solutions to achieve our goals for our businesses.
Eminent Domain
We proudly represent municipalities, municipal boards and committees, municipal officials, water and sewer districts, and quasi-governmental entities across the state on a broad range of matters including contracts, labor relations and employment, ordinance drafting, elections, property taxation, tax increment financing, eminent domain, litigation, and regulation, including land use and enforcement matters.
Easement
Land Use and Zoning
Our attorneys have extensive experience in helping our clients navigate the complex web of local, state, and federal permitting requirements, and their applicability to development projects large and small. We frequently represent developers, individual landowners, and businesses of all sizes in obtaining approvals from local planning boards and zoning boards of appeal, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, the Land Use Planning Commission, and a host of other state and federal government agencies. Our expertise extends to a broad range of matters, including...

Personal Injury
The Litigation Practice Group maintains a diverse multi-jurisdictional practice. Our experienced litigators assist clients in all adversarial contexts, including hearings, trials, appeals, mediation, and arbitration in federal and state court and in administrative agency and board proceedings. We successfully represent our clients in matters ranging from commercial disputes, bankruptcy proceedings, employment cases, products liability, personal injury, land use and environmental law, mass tort litigation, insurance defense, antitrust cases, class actions, constitutional issues, immigration matters, collections, real estate disputes, contract disputes, construction disputes, and the evolving law on cyber-security breach liability.
Medicaid Planning
Part of what distinguishes Perkins Thompson from other law firms is our ability to assist seniors and their families with Crisis MaineCare Planning. This ability is based on in-depth knowledge of the MaineCare eligibility rules, intensive study and experience with client cases in this field, and astute attention to the needs of seniors and their families in these urgent situations. Crisis Medicaid Planning typically occurs when the senior has received an extremely serious medical diagnosis, most commonly when hospital or rehabilitation facility medical personnel have determined that he or she cannot return home after rehab. At this point, the senior and family are facing extended nursing home time without Medicare coverage, starting at around $10,000 per month and certain to increase in the future. Every month that will pass will consume a substantial portion of the senior’s or couple’s life savings. It is easy to see a life savings of one or a few hundred thousand dollars being consumed in a matter of a few months or years. Even allowing the Community Spouse to retain the Community Spouse Resource Allowance, described below, will destroy the rest of the savings that the Community Spouse may need in order to live for years or decades into the future. Crisis MaineCare Planning is essential to protect what can be saved under these drastic, adverse circumstances, where the costs of waiting even one month are very high.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Attorneys in Perkins Thompson’s Blockchain and Digital Assets Practice Area work with a variety of legal matters involving blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other digital assets. This interdisciplinary practice includes attorneys from our Banking and Financial Services, Trust and Estate Law, Intellectual Property and Technology and Business and Corporate practice groups.
Wills
Trusts
Representing and collaborating with nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations and with nonprofit affiliates of for-profit clients in the fulfillment of their missions has been a focus of Perkins Thompson’s practice throughout its long presence in the Portland community. Our clients include the full range of charitable and similar organizations and entities, such as providers of housing and services to older adults, educational institutions, health and social service providers, charitable trusts, and private foundations and private operating foundations. We can act as outside “general counsel” to these organizations and entities, assisting them with all manner of issues arising in their formation, operations, governance and compliance, or if it better suits the organization and its budget, assist with particular issues when requested. In all cases, we keep the organization’s mission at the forefront.
Power of Attorney
If you want your family to be able to immediately take over for you, you must designate a person or persons that you trust in proper legal documents so that they will have the authority to withdraw money from your accounts, pay bills, take distributions from your IRAs, sell stocks, and refinance your home. A Will does not take effect until you die and a power of attorney may be insufficient.
Probate

Bankruptcy
Foreclosure
We have extensive experience in documenting, analyzing, and enforcing both commercial and consumer mortgages, real estate title and title insurance evaluations and other real property issues, including lease assignments, workouts, loan modifications and foreclosures.
Tax Law
Perkins Thompson’s Tax Practice Group has a wealth of experience in representing its clients on a variety of tax issues. We regularly assist individuals, businesses, and trusts on a broad spectrum of federal and state tax issues, and pride ourselves on creating cost-effective and practical solutions to complex tax problems.
