Andrew Baida

My practice involves all aspects of civil litigation, with an emphasis on appellate litigation focusing on commercial and administrative law, medical malpractice, and state and local government matters. I have briefed and argued a broad range of cases that have resulted in more than 180 appellate opinions, and served as counsel of record for the State of Maryland in an original action filed in the United States Supreme Court challenging Maryland’s right to regulate the Potomac River. Prior to joining the firm, I held the position of Solicitor General in the Maryland Attorney General’s office. I am the author of “The Art of Appellate Advocacy,” a column that has appeared in The Daily Record and other newspapers owned by the Dolan Media Company. I have also lectured and published articles on constitutional law, civil rights issues, and effective brief-writing, and have taught appellate advocacy as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Maryland and University of Baltimore law schools.
