Proud of Our Past

In 1937, renowned trial lawyer John J. "Jack" Sheehan joined forces with a young FBI attorney, William L. Phinney, to start a firm in Manchester, New Hampshire. Although both saw active duty in World War II, the firm continued to serve clients. After the war, Perkins Bass, a military intelligence officer and former law clerk, and another young attorney, William S. Green, joined the firm. Together these four founding partners began to establish Sheehan Phinney's sterling reputation. Kimon Zachos arrived in 1957 and helped to further enhance the firm's standing in the Bar and community.

It was also during this period that one of the hallmarks of the firm was established ? a commitment to public service. Since the beginning, our attorneys have served in many local, state and federal government offices as elected and appointed officials.

Over the years, Sheehan Phinney has grown steadily both in size and reputation, attracting national and international clients and was the first New Hampshire law firm to open an office in downtown Boston. We also established one of the largest lobbying groups in New Hampshire, the Sheehan Phinney Capitol Group.
Focused on the Future

Celebrating over 75 years as one of New England's most prominent business law firms, and over 10 years in both the Upper Valley and in Boston, we remain focused on our core values ? commitment to client needs, an atmosphere of efficient collaboration, and volunteer service in the communities where we live and work. These values have guided us well for over 75 years and will continue to do so.

We thank our clients, our colleagues and our friends for their past support and their continued confidence in us as we move forward with them.
