Our Firm

Lord & Whip provides a full range of legal services to business and individuals in Maryland and the District of Columbia. The Firm combines the talents of many attorneys, each of whom has developed expertise in different areas of the law. The complexity of today's legal system requires clients to seek a wide range of expertise. Lord & Whip serves the needs of our clients with nearly every field of law.

While we are known for our focus on civil litigation, our lawyers also advise clients on OSHA/MOSH matters, serve as arbitrators and mediators, and lobby before governmental agencies. We strive to provide our clients with cost effective solutions to their legal needs, whether by taking cases to trial or by fashioning out-of-court agreements to resolve disputes.

It has been our hallmark to provide vigorous representation. The relationship between the Firm and its clients is one of complete confidence. Lord & Whip keeps clients advised of new developments in the law through our firm newsletter, the Lord & Whip Report, an annual general seminar and seminars focusing on areas of interest to particular clients. We also assist our clients in anticipating and planning for future legal needs.
