Eaton Peabody

Formed in 1939, Eaton Peabody is a Maine-based law firm with more than 50 attorneys serving New England and Atlantic Canada from offices in Augusta, Bangor, Brunswick, Ellsworth and Portland. The firm offers sophisticated legal expertise that emphasizes responsive client service.

Many of our lawyers are prominent in their fields of practice, and a number have been recognized by their peers in such publications as Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA, Martindale-Hubbell and SuperLawyers.

Regardless of the practice area, our approach is to serve as facilitators and problem solvers. We are results oriented and strive to avoid “over lawyering.” We get to know our clients and strive to anticipate potential legal issues and address them at an early stage rather than reacting after the fact. Our experience allows us to handle basic tasks in a timely and cost efficient manner. Our depth ensures that more complex matters receive thorough consideration from an attorney, or a team of attorneys, with hands-on experience in a variety of specialized areas.

Our practice advises and represents private and municipal clients in state, federal and municipal environmental and land use matters. We provide direct and prompt assistance to our clients. When necessary, we consult with professionals in other practices to provide comprehensive solutions to our client’s legal and business needs. We work regularly with skilled environmental consultants so we can quickly organize a team of professionals to address an environmental issue efficiently and effectively. We also call upon the expertise of our affiliate, Eaton Peabody Consulting Group (EPCG), to assist in securing local, state and federal funding, and to work with local governments in supporting the redevelopment of properties.
