John practices in all areas of business law, providing counsel and advice to a broad array of corporate clients on matters ranging from mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity financings, intellectual property development and licensing, as well as general business and corporate matters. As a dedicated counselor, John provides his clients with thoughtful guidance through the ins and outs of starting and scaling a business in a rapidly changing and expanding industry.

John advises a number of entrepreneurial business clients, including craft breweries, distilleries, distributors, and other food and beverage companies, regarding start-up formation, brand protection, corporate governance, and federal and state regulatory licensing and compliance issues. He takes the time to understand his clients’ short-term and long-term goals, and his passion for the craft food and beverage industry has also evolved into an avid, personal interest. John is the author of The Brew Kit, a practical guide to starting, owning, and operating a craft brewery, plus state licensing requirements for the State of Maine.

A graduate of the University of Maine School of Law, John’s academic accomplishments earned him the Justice Harry P. Glassman Memorial Fund Scholarship and the CALI Award for Top Performance in Law and Religion.
