of counsel | Manchester, NH

Prior to joining Sheehan Phinney, Curt was a founding partner at Cook Little, where he brought a significant value to his corporate and banking practice. He advises a broad range of businesses within and outside of New Hampshire, including several of the large financial institutions in New England, with respect to major financings, securities matters, real estate purchases and leases, and the formation of new companies.

Curt’s history of practicing corporate and banking law at a large law firm in New York State for six years, and working two years for the Lake Placid Winter Olympics Committee as corporate counsel, proved useful upon his move to New Hampshire in 1981 where he continued to focus on a corporate and banking practice.

Curt is an occasional speaker at continuing legal education seminars, sharing his knowledge, skill, and practical experience with students and colleagues.
