“As employment law continues to evolve, with frequent changes at state and local levels nationally, and our clients navigate new and complex challenges, I’m honored to lead our Baltimore office in guiding them through these changes,” said Kathy. “We’re committed to delivering top-tier guidance that anticipates risks and empowers clients to face today’s shifting landscape with confidence and resilience.”
