Verrill, a Portland-based law firm, announced Friday it will open a Bangor office in response to Eaton Peabody closing after 85 years in the Queen City.
Verrill Managing Partner Scott Anderson said the firm is opening the office in Bangor to “help meet the ongoing legal needs in the area.” Anderson also said lawyers from Eaton Peabody will join Verrill in the new office.
“We deeply value the experience and talent that our new colleagues joining us from Eaton Peabody bring, and we are excited to welcome them to our team,” Anderson said in a statement. “We look forward to sharing more information about our new Bangor office and the exceptional talent joining us in the coming weeks.”
Anderson didn’t share details about where the office will be located or how many employees will staff the location.
Eaton Peabody announced Thursday it would be closing its offices in Bangor, Portland and Augusta. The Bangor-based business has served its clients since 1939 and was the sixth-largest firm in Maine in the past decade.
