Portland, Maine – Pierce Atwood LLP, Northern New England’s largest law firm, announced today that it has been named as one of the “Best Places to Work in Maine.”

Best Places to Work in Maine is an exciting initiative dedicated to finding and recognizing Maine’s best employers. The award program encourages excellence by recognizing companies that have established and consistently fostered outstanding workplaces. Two criteria are used in overall selection: (1) an evaluation of the policies and culture of each organization and (2) the opinions of the organization’s employees, gathered through a 66-question survey.

“We are proud to be recognized as one of the premier employers in Maine” said Bruce Coggeshall, managing partner of Pierce Atwood. Our collaborative work environment focuses on recognizing one another’s contributions and working together to meet the needs of our clients.

The list of the twenty-six 2008 Best Places to Work in Maine, and how they rank, will be unveiled at an awards gala on October 14th.
