Ballard Spahr expanded its Mid-Atlantic footprint to Baltimore in 1992, and today that office is one of the firm's largest.

Our Baltimore attorneys serve corporate, institutional, and entrepreneurial clients in the areas of business law, commercial litigation, labor and employment, public and project finance, securities, and real estate. We are active in Maryland's burgeoning life sciences and biotech sectors and engaged in real estate development projects throughout the city and state. Our real estate practice, representing clients locally, regionally, and nationally, is regarded as one of Maryland's best, ranked repeatedly by Chambers USA in the highest tier among Maryland law firms.

Pro bono service is a hallmark of the firm, and our Baltimore attorneys devote thousands of hours to pro bono cases every year. In addition, our attorneys play an important role in Baltimore and Maryland civic life, holding leadership positions in many nonprofit organizations, including the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore, WestSide Renaissance, Charles Street Development Corporation, Urban Land Institute, Family Tree, and Parks & People Foundation.

Attorneys and staff support a number of deserving causes, including the Baltimore-area Ronald McDonald House and the "Believe in Tomorrow" Children's House at Johns Hopkins, as well as education and wellness nonprofits.
