Category:

As Maine’s Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program moves closer to full implementation on May 1, 2026, Brann & Isaacson is emerging as a leading authority for employers statewide seeking clear, practical guidance on the new law’s requirements and real-world implications. 

The firm’s recent webinar on PFML on March 5 drew more than 300 employers from across the state, underscoring both the widespread impact of the program and the uncertainty many organizations continue to face. The session was part of an ongoing employment law webinar series presented in partnership with HR consulting firm Career Management Associates (CMA). Peter Lowe, a partner at B&I, and David Ciullo, CEO of CMA, focused on the operational realities of compliance. 

B&I’s employment law practice is one of the largest in Maine. It advises a wide range of clients, from small businesses, nonprofits, cities and municipalities to the largest employers in the state. 

The next employment law webinar will take place on May 20 at 12pm ET. The webinar is open to businesses of all sizes, you can register here.
