Edward Sharkey is a business lawyer and trial lawyer focused on business law and the investigation and litigation of disputes for businesses, investment firms, and individuals. He represents owners, investors, and businesses in formation, operations, acquisitions, financing, and sales — and represents both plaintiffs and defendants, from multi-national corporations to individuals, in the litigation of business, contract, securities, fiduciary duty, construction, negligence, and professional liability claims.
How the Firm Works
The firm is organized to deliver cost-effective results. It runs lean and uses modern technology to keep service responsive without unnecessary expense. When a matter calls for additional scale, Mr. Sharkey maintains relationships with similarly focused firms in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and nationwide to staff larger transactions and litigation efficiently.
A Distinguishing Combination
Mr. Sharkey combines substantial business transaction experience with significant trial and arbitration experience. Many lawyers do one or the other; the combination is a distinguishing characteristic of this practice and a consistent advantage for clients on both sides of their work.
Teaching and Leadership
Mr. Sharkey has lectured lawyers, businesses, and pension professionals on business and pension law topics. He has presented for organizations including the National Business Institute, the National Law Journal, the Institute of Management Accountants, the Maryland and Virginia Associations of Certified Public Accountants, the American Bar Association, the Bar Association of Montgomery County, and the American Society of Pension Actuaries. He served as Chair of the Business Law Section of the Maryland State Bar Association.
