Louis Malick handles a variety of litigation matters, including high stakes commercial litigation, state licensing disputes, pension litigation, estate and trust disputes, real estate disputes, construction defect litigation, class action defense, employment disputes, and defense of attorneys and other professionals facing malpractice claims or grievances. Among other things, Louis has successfully represented judges before the Commission on Judicial Disabilities and the Court of Appeals of Maryland and effectively assisted medical cannabis growers, processors, and dispensaries navigate Maryland's developing regulatory framework for this new industry.
A strong strategic thinker, Louis has important experience in trial, appellate, and administrative settings. He is keenly attuned to client needs, as well as the perceptions and expectations of the decision maker – whether a trial judge, an administrative panel of lay persons, lawyers or judges, or an appellate bench. Clients value his strong advocacy, creative problem solving, and discretion in dealing with highly sensitive matters.
Before joining the firm, Louis clerked for the Honorable Deborah S. Eyler and two retired judges specially assigned full time to the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland, the Honorable Lawrence F. Rodowsky and the Honorable Charles E. Moylan, Jr.
