Our client, a respected Baltimore law firm, is seeking a motivated Associate Attorney to join its Real Estate and Administrative Law practice with a focus on land use, zoning, and development matters.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career attorney (1–3 years) to build a public-facing practice at the intersection of law, real estate, and local government.
