Mac Walton

Mac Walton is an attorney at Drummond Woodsum in Portland, Maine, and a litigator representing municipalities, schools, developers, businesses, financial institutions, and other clients. His work includes land use proceedings, real estate disputes, commercial litigation, bankruptcy-related matters, and school and education issues. He practices in state and federal court at trial and appellate levels and also advocates before municipal boards and administrative agencies when disputes involve public decision making or regulatory review.

Mac earned a J.D. summa cum laude from the University of Maine School of Law in 2019 and a B.A. from Williams College in 2008. His legal education was followed by judicial clerkships with the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine. That background strengthened his legal writing, appellate analysis, and understanding of judicial decision making, which now support his litigation strategy and advocacy in complex civil matters.

Mac has represented a nonprofit will beneficiary in a dispute that involved proceedings in Probate Court, Superior Court, and the Law Court. He has litigated numerous Rule 80B appeals challenging municipal decisions and has served as outside counsel to a state agency in a Rule 80C appeal. His practice requires him to develop arguments across different forums while keeping clients’ broader objectives in focus through trial, appeal, administrative review, and negotiated resolution.

Mac Walton has been recognized by Best Lawyers USA as an Ones to Watch honoree for Commercial Litigation and Litigation – Labor and Employment for 2026. He also received leadership and legal-writing honors during law school. His combination of clerkship experience, trial and appellate work, municipal litigation, and commercial disputes supports a strategic approach to complex matters where clients need clear arguments, careful procedural planning, and attention to long-term objectives.
