Counsel for Business OwnersPrivate Clients & Families
We represent individuals and families whose estate planning, real estate, business interests and other personal legal needs often intersect.
Private Client & Family CounselWe staff matters around the client, not an organizational chart.
Our attorneys collaborate when their different experience and perspectives add value to the representation. Senior lawyers regularly work together on significant transactions and disputes. Associates contribute substantive work as part of teams led by experienced counsel.
The result is a team that combines continuity, context and focused experience without unnecessary handoffs.
Different strengths. One team.
DRG's business, corporate, real estate and litigation work is organized through two principal groups. The Transactional Group, chaired by Julien D. Guerard, handles corporate and real estate matters. The Litigation Group, chaired by Daetan B. Huck, handles business, real estate and complex civil disputes. Our Trusts, Estates & Probate attorneys work alongside both groups when a client's personal planning intersects with business interests, real estate or succession.
Practical analysis and updates on issues affecting Maine businesses, property owners, individuals and families.
