At Schulman, Treem, Kaminkow, Gilden & Ravenell, we offer our business clients a broad range of legal services.  Whether a client is looking for advice on drafting employment agreements and non-compete covenants, or structuring, negotiating and documenting the terms of a complex business deal or development agreement, we are able to provide efficient, expert advice. 

We have extensive experience negotiating and drafting technology agreements, distribution agreements, employment and executive compensation contracts, consulting agreements, management agreements and shareholder agreements.  We regularly provide advice to businesses throughout the Baltimore metropolitan area, whether they are merging or acquiring businesses or looking at ways of restructuring their business, and we actively seek representation of new business enterprises.

We are well known in local legal circles as one of the premier – and most aggressive – civil litigation boutiques in Maryland.  We have handled virtually every type of civil and commercial litigation imaginable, from construction and real estate development disputes, to employment discrimination and sexual harassment claims, to breach of contract and fraud cases, to covenant-not-to-compete matters, to complex civil conspiracy and RICO actions.

Our core civil litigation team of Robert Schulman, Joshua Treem, Ken Ravenell, Les Hershfield, Andrew Dansicker, Steve Gilden, Michael Lind and Brendan Hurson have appeared in virtually every state and federal court in Maryland and surrounding jurisdictions, and have frequently argued before the state appellate courts and the Fourth Circuit.  Whether handling sensitive negotiations, obtaining necessary discovery, participating in jury trials or arbitrations, or leading appeals, our attorneys have the intellectual depth and breadth of experience that inspires confidence, not only in our clients, but in the various courts and tribunals in which they argue their cases.

Under the bold leadership of Ken Ravenell, Robert Schulman, Joshua Treem and Michael Kaminkow, the criminal law practice at Schulman, Treem, Kaminkow, Gilden & Ravenell is among the broadest and most successful in Maryland.  In fact, it is highly doubtful that any law firm in Maryland has obtained more acquittals and favorable resolutions of substantive criminal matters over the past few years, in matters ranging from murder cases and death penalty cases, to white-collar fraud, conspiracy and RICO cases, to cases alleging child abuse, drug distribution, robbery, involuntary servitude, and sexual assault.

We regularly handle virtually every type of criminal action, ranging from federal and state grand jury investigations of environmental crimes and minority contracting schemes, to bank frauds and bribery cases, to major arson and murder cases.  Moreover, we are actively involved in handling state appellate and Fourth Circuit appeals, and recently prevailed in a noteworthy case before the Court of Appeals of Maryland and the United State Supreme Court relating to the application of Miranda principles in a murder case.
