At KDA we believe that planning, collaboration and the application of common sense, along with technical, legal knowledge, yields the best results for clients. It is better to prevent a lawsuit than to bring or defend one; it is not enough to win a casethe money collected must more than justify the financial and emotional expense of the lawsuit. Contracts must be succinct, understandable and meet the client's business goals. Transactions must be completed in a planned and efficient manner, with the attorney serving as a catalyst, not an impediment, to the transaction. We want to help you succeed, using out collaborative, client-centered approach.

Commercial Transactions and Banking

We have prepared and negotiated contracts of sale, distribution agreements finance and loan documents on behalf of business clients and financial institutions.

We have represented both buyers and sellers of businesses, in asset sales and corporate purchases. Our staff has managed every stage of a business purchase, from conception, negotiation, contract development through due diligence and closing. We have worked closely with the business brokers selected by our clients, as well as with the banks and SBA lenders in order to make sure that the transaction is completed to the client's satisfaction.

We have worked with a broad range of lending vehicles, including asset-based loans, construction loans, mortgage financing, and other secured and unsecured financing transactions. We provide advice regarding the initial structure of transactions to specialized issues relating to collateral protection and perfection, multi-lender participations, and other complex matters. We also have experience in handling troubled debt matters, restructuring loans, collections and foreclosures.

Construction Law
KDA represents some of the Baltimore-Metropolitan Area's most prestigious builders and, in that representation, we have come to understand the needs of clients in the construction trades. Our attorneys are intimately familiar with the requirements of the AIA contracting process, mechanic's liens, Miller Act claims, and construction defect litigation. Our attorneys have also participated in surety bond litigation and the interpretation and analysis of commercial general insurance policies as they apply to builders, subcontractors, owners and architects.

At KDA, we represent owners, developers, government agencies, school boards, contractors, design professionals, tradesmen, suppliers and insurers in a wide variety of commercial and residential construction projects. Combining years of legal experience with practical training, as well as employment in the construction industry, we are uniquely attuned to the needs and goals of our clients and offer insightful advice and creative solutions to problems arising in the complex construction environment.
