Manufacturing

Since its inception in 1919, the McLane Law Firm has represented the interests of manufacturing companies. We started by representing Amsokeag Mills, America's largest manufacturing facility at the time. Our client base in the manufacturing industry now encompasses companies such as Hitchiner Manufacturing, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technologies and Heidelberg, and we are proud to represent national and international manufacturers that have locations based around the world. Today, our attorneys provide comprehensive legal counsel and assistance to a wide range of manufacturers on the myriad of legal matters that must be successfully addressed in an increasingly competitive business environment.

Understanding the context in which manufacturers conduct business, our attorneys advise clients on industry specific corporate legal needs including: supplier and customer relationship and contract issues; development and implementation of policies, procedures and training to better assure regulatory compliance and reduce legal risk; joint venture agreements; mergers and acquisitions; bankruptcy proceedings; patents, licensing and trademark issues; land use and development issues; employee benefits and pension plans, including the establishment and management of Employment Stock Ownership Plans; customer financing challenges and opportunities; real estate and land use issues; tax planning; and advising on the technical aspects of the regulatory and environmental issues involved in a manufacturing plant.

We also counsel manufacturers on the additional legal complexities associated with multi-location and international operations, including employment and immigration issues. When a problem arises, our attorneys effectively and expertly advise manufacturers in all aspects of business, intellectual property and employment litigation and administrative proceedings.

Having advised numerous companies within the manufacturing industry for over eighty years, we have an insight into the industry specific needs pertaining to both small and large manufacturers that enable us to provide a wide range of manufacturers with tailored legal advice.
