Bernstein Shur

✨ Employee Appreciation Day at Bernstein Shur!

Friday was all about celebrating our incredible team. Across Portland and Manchester, colleagues shared notes of gratitude that truly show what makes our firm special. 💙

Some highlights:
🔸 “How you handle a million requests with the air that you have plenty of time in your day is a mystery!”
🔸 “For the best partner, sounding board, and friend I could have ever hoped to share a wall with.”
🔸 “Your joy and professionalism bring so much light to this office. Bernstein Shur would not be the same without you. You are essential!”

A huge thank you to our amazing HR team—Ali Worster, Amelia Pelletier, and Emily Sheldon—for making this celebration possible.

Last week at our annual holiday party, CEO, Kaveri Subbarao Nauhaus had the honor of presenting the Barnett I. Shur Civic Awards and the Sumner T. Bernstein Pro Bono Award to three remarkable colleagues who exemplify our firm’s longstanding commitment to service, equity, and community.
