Miles & Stockbridge P.C. is a Maryland-based firm with over 200 lawyers stationed in offices throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Its lawyers help global, national, local and emerging business clients. The firm solves its clients' most important problems relating to 20 practice areas, more than 100 practice focus areas and 16 industries, including manufacturing and distribution, real estate and finance and capital markets.

Baltimore Roots

In 1932, Clarence W. Miles began an illustrious legal career by opening a law firm in Baltimore, Maryland. His career spanned decades and culminated with his appointment as the chairman of Martin Marietta, a predecessor to the Lockheed Martin Corporation. He was also the first president of the Baltimore Orioles. In 1953, Enos S. Stockbridge joined Miles in his law practice. They were considered an odd pairing, as few expected Miles, a staunch Democrat, to have a Republican law partner. Regardless of political differences, the firm thrived, and it now boasts six offices across Maryland, as well as offices in Washington, DC and Northern Virginia.

In 2013, the firm's Baltimore headquarters relocated from the landmark Bank of America building, where it resided for more than 80 years, to dynamic new space in the signature Transamerica Tower at 100 Light Street in the heart of the city's central business district and across from Baltimore's famed Inner Harbor. The new offices were designed with the culture of the firm in mind--to enhance interaction, collaboration and exceptional client service.

According to firm management, although the firm has many different offices, it has purposefully tried to remain "humanly scaled" and not become a "mega" law firm like many others.

Nationally, Miles & Stockbridge has a reputation for working with clients in key industries that include manufacturing and distribution, real estate and finance and capital markets. Its clients run the gamut from small, family-owned businesses to corporate giants such as Bank of America, Stanley Black & Decker and US Foods, Inc.

Community Commitment

Miles & Stockbridge encourages every lawyer in every office to contribute meaningfully to organizations that enhance community life. The firm works closely with prominent public interest organizations, such as the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service, that provide legal services to disadvantaged members of local communities.  The firm's lawyers created and staff a pro bono clinic at Chase Brexton Health Services, Inc., a non-profit organization providing health services to underserved clients.  In addition, attorneys at Miles & Stockbridge work nationally and internationally to help families regain custody of missing and abducted children. Additionally, the lawyers in the Domestic Violence Pro Bono Group help victims of domestic violence obtain final protective orders.
