Frequently Asked Questions

Where are most Baltimore business disputes litigated?

Major commercial cases are typically filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City at 100 N. Calvert Street, while federal matters go to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland at 101 W. Lombard Street. Maryland also offers a dedicated Business and Technology Case Management Program for complex commercial disputes, which streamlines discovery and trial scheduling.

Does Maryland require written operating agreements for LLCs?

Maryland does not legally require a written operating agreement for an LLC, but operating without one is risky. In the absence of a written agreement, default provisions of the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act apply — and those defaults often don’t match what the members actually intended. A custom operating agreement prevents costly disputes later.

What is Maryland’s statute of limitations for breach of contract?

Maryland’s general statute of limitations for breach of a written contract is three years from the date the cause of action accrues. Specialty contracts under seal carry a twelve-year limit, but those are rare in modern business practice. Because deadlines are strict, companies should consult counsel promptly after any material breach.
