Pierce Atwood

Wharfside

In 2011, the Portland-based law firm, Pierce Atwood, moved from their office in Monument Square to Merrill's Wharf. The law firm's move was emotional for some Portland residents, but by working with existing businesses and the Waterfront Alliance Pierce Atwood managed a successful transition to the waterfront. Wharfside: Stories of Portland Harbor's Working Waterfront explore the people, places, and work in Portland Harbor through photos, audio stories, and video. This project is made possible by the Waterfront Alliance and Casco Bay Estuary Partnership. Produced by Galen Koch © 2016. Photos for this story by Galen Koch and Jenny Rebecca Nelson © 2016.
