MILES & STOCKBRIDGE

 Empty heading

Miles & Stockbridge is an Am Law 200 law firm with more than 200 attorneys across Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia and New York. Under the leadership of Nancy W. Greene over the last decade and the firm’s newly elected Chairman, President and CEO Scott R. Wilson, the firm employs 416 people and has served clients for 94 years.

The firm was established on the principle that legal practice should extend beyond office walls. Its founders believed in pairing professional rigor with meaningful participation in the civic and business fabric of the communities they served.

“Despite differing personalities and political views, they shared a common commitment to social change, inclusion and public service — values that became the foundation of the firm’s original mission and continue to guide it today,” the firm said.

Throughout its history, Miles & Stockbridge has played a defining role along the East Coast. Clarence Miles’ civic contributions helped shape Baltimore, from bringing Major League Baseball to the city to championing inclusive institutions. The firm has since grown from its Baltimore roots to establish offices throughout the region and recently completed a strategic merger with Krooth & Altman.

Today, the firm operates according to its foundational principles of excellence, integrity, respect, compassion, diversity and teamwork. These tenets inform how attorneys serve clients and collaborate with one another.

A distinctive element of the firm’s culture is its lawyer-led affinity groups, which foster professional connection and community outreach. Open to all regardless of background, these five networks include the Miles LGBTQIA+ Alliance, Miles Jewish Alliance, Miles Minority Network, Miles Women’s Network and Miles Parent Lawyers Group.

Miles & Stockbridge has maintained its competitive standing by offering sophisticated resources capable of handling legal matters of any scale while preserving the flexibility to address smaller needs efficiently. This approach has positioned the firm as a regional leader with national and global reach.
