McLane in the Community

The McLane Law Firm's Mission Statement states:
"We are a team of professionals providing the highest quality legal services to our clients. We are committed to continuing our firm's tradition of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity and contributing in significant ways to the communities in which we live and work."

Since its founding in 1919, the McLane Law Firm has been a strong supporter of the arts and cultural community in New Hampshire. Our corporate philanthropy policy has been guided by the support we offer to those organizations who promote a better quality of life in New Hampshire through the promotion of arts and cultural facilities and organizations. The other aspect of our corporate philanthropy policy is to support the organizations our firm members dedicate their time to through board and committee memberships.

We are proud that we have been recognized for our efforts through the honor of being awarded "Arts & Cultural Advocate of the Year" by the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce in 2002 and the 2000 award for "Business in the Arts" award for a mid-size business from the NH Business Committee for the Arts.
