The new class of principals merges legal acumen with deep understanding of their industries to deliver client-focused solutions in the following areas:

- Litigating commercial and business disputes in state and federal courts
- Assisting clients in product liability and regulatory and compliance issues, including before the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
- Leading the firm’s representation of financial institutions in their response to actions to enforce judgments
“Adam, Michael, Susan and Tess are skilled lawyers who have each developed legal practices that support and advocate for their clients in many ways, such as protecting their businesses and navigating new regulations and laws,” said Nancy Greene, chairman, president and CEO of Miles & Stockbridge. “They step into their new roles at a time of tremendous growth at the firm, including, most recently, the completion of our merger with real estate finance firm Krooth & Altman at the end of December. We are expanding the services we offer clients, and that includes the wealth of knowledge and experience our new principals provide.”
Adam A. Bartolanzo supports clients in all areas of government contracting. He assists contractors and subcontractors with technical data and computer software rights in government contracts, cost and pricing issues, small business regulatory compliance, claims, bid protests and False Claims Act litigation.
