Pierce Atwood has named a former naval officer as a new employment law partner.
Peter Hale represents employers on issues involving hiring, performance management, termination, wage and salary laws, workplace harassment and discrimination, among other labor and employment issues.
He helps clients with issues of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, state workplace leave laws, non-competition and restrictive covenants, and employment agreements.
Prior to joining Pierce Atwood in the firm's Portland office, he was a shareholder and former co-chair of the labor and employment group at Bernstein Shur.

Hale graduated cum laude from Boston University School of Law and received his bachelor of arts from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
