Teresa Azzam also joins litigation team as associate in Washington
Miles & Stockbridge, a leading business law firm in the mid-Atlantic region, is pleased to announce that veteran real estate litigation lawyers Christopher B. Bowman, Catherine B. Harrington and Katherine A. Wilson have joined the firm’s Rockville office. Bowman and Harrington are principals in the Litigation Practice Group, while Wilson is counsel.
Bowman and Harrington both represent commercial property owners and landowners in litigation throughout the lifespan of a lease. Bowman advises clients on lease interpretations, the negotiation of commercial lease modifications, workouts and amendments. Harrington drafts and negotiates construction contracts, listing and cooperative agreements for commercial real estate brokers, commercial leases, assignments and amendments and property management agreements.
They also offer counsel on day-to-day legal issues for their real estate clients, many of which are local outlets of companies with national footprints.
Wilson helps clients negotiate commercial lease modifications, workouts and amendments. She also provides general business advice and advises on property rights, mechanics’ liens, leasing rights and other day-to-day legal issues.
“Kate, Chris and Katie bring a new facet to our real estate litigation practice that allows us to service our clients at a higher level, help solve more of their business needs and collaborate strategically with our real estate colleagues,” said Joe Beavers, co-head of the Litigation Practice Group. “They are superb litigators, and we are excited to help them grow their practices as they help us expand our service offerings to clients.”
“Kate, Chris and Katie will be a tremendous addition to our real estate litigation team at Miles & Stockbridge,” added Brad Bernstein, managing principal of the Rockville office. “We have some of the most talented and experienced litigators in the region, and their talents make us deeper and stronger. They will be a great resource for our clients as we continue to grow and expand our litigation practice.”
In addition to the new lawyers in Rockville, Teresa Azzam has joined the Washington office as an associate in the Litigation Practice Group.
