MILES & STOCKBRIDGE
BALTIMORE, MD.
The history of Miles & Stockbridge goes back to 1932 and Clarence Miles,
who started out representing regulated utility companies along the East
Coast and in the Midwest. The firm’s labor and employment lawyers today
cover the full range of issues in the practice area, in and out of court. When
no resolutions can be made, Kathie Pontone, practice group leader, notes
her team is more than ready for trial. “More and more we’re seeing clients
saying, ‘No. There’s principle at stake here and I want to go to trial.’ And
if that’s the case, we’re glad to take it to trial and do our best to win,” she
says. “We’ve been very fortunate that we’ve got some great trial lawyers who
love going to trial and do very well in front of a jury. It makes the plaintiff’s
lawyers respect us because they know if need be, we’ll take it to trial. It
makes them be realistic. The win-loss record is obviously something very
much in our clients’ favor.”
