Careers

Rudman Winchell is a full-service law firm located in Bangor, Maine. Our attorneys practice national-caliber law while enjoying the unsurpassed beauty of Maine. Like attorneys at large city law firms across the country, we handle sophisticated legal challenges in litigation, securities, banking, energy, corporations, estate planning, employment, immigration, and environmental law. Unlike those big-city attorneys, we enjoy practice in Maine courts and with the Maine bar, where civility and attention to quality remain the expectation rather than the exception.

Rudman Winchell’s practice is organized into three sections: Litigation, Employment, and Transactions. Within these sections, we offer a full range of legal practice areas. Our structure is flexible, however, and our Practice Groups cut across sections and practice areas in order to meet client needs with integrated service. Our proximity to Canada also offers opportunities for international business practice.
Our attorneys are encouraged to participate actively in the life of their communities. They serve on volunteer boards and in appointed and elected positions of leadership throughout the Penobscot River Valley and across Maine.
