Firm Profile:
Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green has been serving clients throughout New England for over 50 years. While the firm's core clients remain businesses, institutions and municipalities based in New England, the firm also regularly represents the interests of national and international concerns throughout the region and the United States. Sheehan Phinney is known for professional excellence, practical counsel, and commitment to both its clients and the communities it serves.

To enhance the services provided to its clients, the firm has expanded beyond its offices in Manchester and Concord by opening an office in the heart of Boston's financial district, and establishing a presence in New Hampshire's technology-rich Upper Valley. The firm's geographic expansion springs from the regional growth and diversity of its clients and their needs, including access to major capital and international markets. These service-oriented developments complement the firm's expansion of its government relations and tax advisory services through its affiliates, the Sheehan Phinney Capitol Group and Sheehan Phinney Tax Group.
