Perkins Thompson

 

Joseph G. Talbot, Esq., President and Shareholder of Perkins Thompson, P.A.

Community engagement is key to strong legal representation

Relationships that result from a deep understanding of client and community needs are rooted in a legacy at Perkins Thompson that dates back 150 years, to a time when the Civil War was a recent raw wound and Portland’s Old Port was a beehive of rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1866. Founded in the spirit of entrepreneurialism and collaboration, Perkins Thompson honors its past by carrying that spirit through to its modern-day work with Maine and Northern New England nonprofit organizations.

Grounded in a deep level of client and community engagement, Perkins Thompson attorneys are poised to meet the modern needs of nonprofits. We understand the important work our community nonprofits provide, and with that in mind, we strive to serve them with excellence in a cost-effective manner. Perkins Thompson is committed to continuing a mission it has carried for years — identifying how and where we, as a law firm, can provide the greatest good for the most people in our community.

Many of our attorneys and staff members dedicate significant time and effort to serving on the governing boards of nonprofits

Perkins Thompson has found a variety of ways for our attorneys and staff members to support the nonprofits in our communities. We encourage our employees to volunteer their time to work with nonprofits on various community projects. As a firm, we provide a substantial number of hours of pro-bono service annually, as well as financial contributions to a variety of nonprofit organizations and causes. Many of our attorneys and staff members dedicate significant time and effort to serving on the governing boards of nonprofit organizations.

I encourage you to also reach out to nonprofit organizations in your community. Are there ways that your company can support the mission of nonprofits? Are there nonprofit organizations that have a mission which closely aligns with your company? Are there nonprofits that your employees feel passionate about supporting? These are all things to consider when determining how, why, and with whom to align your company. At Perkins Thompson, we have found that the passion that drives you to support nonprofits is just as important as the organization you decide to support.

As we continue to work through what has been, without question, two very challenging years, nonprofit organizations need the support of the Maine business community more than ever. Perkins Thompson will continue to support these organizations. I encourage you to look through the following pages to see how you or your company also can provide support to our community’s nonprofits.
