Mcquaide Blasko

What Mcquaide Blasko does

McQuaide Blasko is a Central Pennsylvania-based full-service law firm founded in 1921 by John Love in Bellefonte, currently operating through four offices in State College, Hershey, Hollidaysburg, and Williamsport. The firm employs 23 attorneys organized across 13 practice areas spanning business and corporate law, civil litigation, healthcare law, labor and employment, estate planning and administration, real estate and title services, M&A, municipal law, intellectual property, charities/non-profits, financial services, professional negligence defense, and family/collaborative law. Its client base is horizontally segmented across individual clients, businesses of all sizes, non-profit organizations, universities and colleges, and municipalities throughout the Central Pennsylvania region.

The firm generates revenue through traditional professional services billing, including hourly rates, fixed fees, and contingency arrangements, with each matter priced based on complexity, time requirements, and practice area. McQuaide Blasko relies on a sales-led go-to-market approach anchored by its 100+ year regional brand, community involvement (supporting 93 charities annually), professional bar association participation, client referrals, and targeted content marketing such as Phil Miles' nationally recognized Lawffice Space blog and attorney-authored whitepapers on employment law topics. The firm is privately held as a Pennsylvania corporation under shareholder-attorney ownership, with Sean M. Burke serving as President and Managing Director. There is no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no APIs or technology integrations; the firm operates on traditional professional services infrastructure with attorneys licensed in all Pennsylvania state courts, federal district courts, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
