Understanding where your property ends, what rights extend into the water, and who owns the submerged land can help avoid confusion and potential disputes. Liff, Walsh & Simmons Partner James E. Crossan explains the key principles of Maryland waterfront property ownership and riparian rights in our latest article.

You may be surprised to learn that some of the most common estate planning challenges are issues many families face every day.

As summer comes to a close, we had the pleasure of hosting a happy hour to celebrate and thank our outstanding law clerks for all of their hard work and dedication this season.

Throughout the summer, our law clerks invested countless hours learning the practice of law, supporting our attorneys, and gaining firsthand experience in what it’s like to work in a law firm. Their curiosity, professionalism, and commitment made an impact, and we’re grateful for everything they contributed.

Our attorneys, especially their supervising attorneys, will certainly miss them as they return for another exciting school year. We wish each of them continued success in their studies and future legal careers.

Our thank-you happy hour was a wonderful opportunity to come together as a firm, celebrate our people, and enjoy time outside the office. Thank you again to our incredible law clerks for a fantastic summer. We can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish!
