Devine Millimet

What Devine Millimet does

Devine Millimet (legal entity: Devine, Millimet & Branch, P.A.) is a privately held full-service law firm headquartered at 111 Amherst Street in Manchester, New Hampshire, with additional offices in Concord (state capital) and Portsmouth. Founded January 1, 1947 by Maurice F. Devine and Joseph A. Millimet, the firm operates three New Hampshire locations and serves clients across New England. The firm employs 101-250 staff with over 50 attorneys licensed to practice in multiple states plus U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and U.S. Patent Office. Devine Millimet organizes its practice into five categories: Business & Non-Profits (corporate, M&A, ESOP, employment, real estate, business finance), Government Regulation & Public Affairs (municipal bonds, zoning, regulatory compliance), Individuals (estate planning, family law, criminal defense, personal injury), Industries & Sectors (banking, healthcare under the Devine Health brand, energy, telecommunications, tourism and gaming), and Litigation & Dispute Resolution. The litigation department is described as the largest of any New Hampshire-based law firm following the 2015 combination with Nelson Kinder + Mosseau.

The firm operates on a professional services revenue model with no proprietary technology platform disclosed. Services are billed via hourly rates, flat fees for specific matters, or alternative fee arrangements, with free initial consultations available via a main phone line. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led through direct client relationships, attorney referrals, and community reputation, augmented by event-driven activity including the annual New Hampshire tax update webinar, ESOP presentations, and bar association continuing legal education events. Marketing channels emphasize thought leadership through website articles, earned media coverage, professional conference participation, and client testimonials collected as part of Best Law Firms research. The firm is owned and controlled by its attorney-shareholders (Anu R. Mullikin serves as President & Shareholder), with no parent company, private equity, or institutional investor identified. Customer segments span small-to-large businesses, individuals, and nonprofit organizations, with documented deep relationships in healthcare, banking, land conservation, and nonprofit governance spanning 20+ years.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on longevity (75+ years of continuous operation), peer-recognized talent across Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, and Super Lawyers, and Tier 1 Best Law Firms designation across twelve practice areas in the 2026 edition. Strategic activity over the past decade has emphasized measured geographic and practice expansion (Concord 2014, Portsmouth 2015), small-scale combinations to deepen capability (Nelson Kinder + Mosseau 2015, Ambrogi Law Office 2024), and ongoing shareholder elevation. There is no public disclosure of firm revenue, no external capital raises, and no AI/ML capability or proprietary technology platform in evidence.
