Roy T. Pierce

Roy brings a high caliber of experience and legal expertise to Jensen Baird’s Litigation Practice Group. Also President of the firm, he is committed to helping clients achieve desirable results with his skillful representation and direct communication style.  Listed in Best Lawyers in America for the past several years in the area of Commercial Litigation, Roy represents individuals and businesses in commercial litigation cases in Maine, Massachusetts, and beyond.  He has established a varied practice with extensive experience litigating business tort, breach of contract, trade secrets, copyright infringement, products liability, real estate, land use, and tax disputes. In addition, he maintains an active appellate practice and has argued more than two dozen appeals before the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. In every case, Roy’s focus is helping people navigate to an acceptable outcome in a time frame that meets their needs, and at an affordable cost.  

“I like to get good results for people and I like to win.  I understand that when clients come to me, they’re in a bad situation. My goal is to help them find the best way forward. I’m never going to tell you something just because you want to hear it.  You’re paying me to tell you what you need to know.  We can make the best decisions from there.”

Following law school, Roy clerked for the Honorable David G. Roberts, Associate Justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Prior to joining Jensen Baird, he practiced with two other Southern Maine firms where he litigated and tried a wide range of commercial, business, and state tax cases throughout the country. He has also lectured on multistate tax issues.
