Our Baltimore Law Office
The Baltimore office of Sanford Heisler Sharp is committed to justice, equality, and protecting human rights in the workplace and in our communities.
Established in 2018, our Baltimore office aims to serve as a resource for the diverse communities that make up our City.
At Sanford Heisler Sharp we know that when companies and organizations create workplaces that accommodate human life, everyone wins.
With seven offices across the country, Sanford Heisler Sharp is committed to litigating and resolving public interest, social justice, and civil rights matters that significantly impact the lives of individuals, groups, and communities wronged by unlawful practices. We help people and communities defend their civil and human rights. Together, we work to move the law closer toward justice, for all of us.
Our Practice Areas
The Baltimore office of Sanford Heisler Sharp helps individuals and organizations fight for justice in the face of:
- Unlawful discrimination and harassment
- Failure to accommodate disabilities, including pregnancy
- Retaliation
- Pay inequity based on unlawful factors such as gender or race
- Wage theft and other wage and hour violations
- Excessive force and police brutality
- Sexual and racial harassment and sexual assault
- Wrongful termination
- Discriminatory housing practices
- Public nuisance and other irresponsible practices that harm individuals and communities
- Hate crimes
In Baltimore and beyond, we know that victims of crime from under-served communities sometimes face unfair treatment from the very people and institutions who are supposed to protect and serve them. When law enforcement and other state and local agencies fail to fairly prosecute sexual assault and other criminal cases, we provide healing-centered advocacy for survivors of homicide and other violent crimes.
Office Location
Our office is located in the heart of the city in downtown Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. We are in the Harbor Place Tower building, across from the National Aquarium and the World Trade Center. By design, our office is easily accessible via public transit; we are also a short (free!) Charm City Circulator bus ride away from Baltimore Penn Station.
Office Hours
Our normal office hours are Monday to Friday, from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. Please contact us to schedule a meeting that is convenient for you. We are happy to connect with potential clients in-person at our office or by video using Teams or Zoom.
Our Philosophy
Clients at the Baltimore office benefit from our local roots and nationwide reach. Baltimore attorneys and legal assistants work closely with our colleagues in the firm’s seven offices around the country.
Our strong partnerships with local nonprofit organizations, experts in mental health, and grassroots, community-centered partners, in Baltimore and across the country, help us offer our clients a holistic and humane approach to negotiation and, when necessary, litigation.
Notable Cases
Our Baltimore team has successfully handled many notable cases, including:
- Rapuano et al v. Dartmouth, a landmark Title IX class action lawsuit against Dartmouth College brought on behalf of current and former female graduate students and undergraduates in Dartmouth’s Department of Psychology and Brain Sciences.
- Resolving through confidential settlement a race and gender discrimination case brought on behalf of the former head of Valuation & Advisory for global commercial real estate behemoth Cushman & Wakefield.
