Maine uses rather special terminology, a clerk
at a registered office, for what is commonly called in most states
a registered, resident or statutory agent. Our Maine registered
agent (a clerk at a registered office) is actually an attorney and
member of the Maine bar. He will give you quality service at a reasonable
price: $99 per year.
Maybe you are paying
more to your current resident agent and maybe you are not receiving
the quality of service you expect. Well, now you can conform to
Maine laws requiring a
clerk and a registered office and do so without overpaying or sacrificing
quality and dependability.

Maine mandates,
as do all states, that limited liability companies, corporations
and partnerships must have a registered agent (clerk) and a registered
office in Maine. This mandate rooted in law (hence statutory agent)
must be an actual person residing in Maine who can receive important
papers so that Maine courts will have jurisdiction over these entities.
As long as you
must obey this law, you might as well maximize its usefulness. You
can, considering both cost and quality of service, enjoy some added
benefits. Lawyers know business, business law and common issues
in litigation involving businesses. A lawyer or lawyer-managed agency
brings this knowledge and experience if you should ever be sued.
Or perhaps, if some other matter related specifically to Maine statutes
or regulation comes up, you will have a Maine attorney to call.
You will not have to scamper through the yellow pages and just pick
a name. This doesn't mean free legal service, but it does mean that
you can start at the right place if you need help. With the registered
agents and registered office provided by
you meet the requirements of the law, but you also provide your
enterprise with an extra resource should you need it. Should any
legal action befall your enterprise, you will want (1) privacy and
confidentiality that a designated employee or lay citizen, however
discreet, cannot provide and (2) no late night knock at the door
by a process server.

contact. With our service, you can avoid exposing yourself, an employee
or friend to undesired solicitation. We forward only what you must
receive.
Timeliness in receiving important documents is crucial. We know
this and our procedures and high-speed scanning service are designed
to eliminate the financial costs of delay, hesitation, procrastination
or uncertainty on the part of persons unfamiliar with litigation
and reporting requirements. A lawyer's office knows exactly how
to respond as well as the consequences for not doing so.
If your limited liability company or corporation fails to maintain
a registered agent (clerk) and a registered office in Maine, or to comply
with other state laws, your good standing as a business entity can
be jeopardized. If you want us to, we are in a position to help
you stay on the right side of the law, which might otherwise be
difficult even if you give the matter your best attention and commitment.
