Maryland Business Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Arbitration Clauses + Agreements in Maryland

Maryland arbitration clauses are widely enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) — but unconscionability, class-action waiver issues, and the 2022 EFAA (sexual-harassment carve-out) limit some clauses.

Breach of Contract in Maryland

Maryland breach-of-contract claims require valid contract + breach + damages — but most cases turn on what damages can be proved, not whether breach occurred.

Business Divorce in Maryland

Maryland business divorces — partner / shareholder splits — usually involve buyout valuation, fiduciary breach claims, and potentially judicial dissolution. Operating agreement controls when written; courts fill gaps when not.

Class Actions in Maryland

Maryland class actions follow Federal Rule 23 (or state equivalent) — class certification is the critical battle, with numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy required.

Commercial Collections in Maryland

Maryland businesses pursuing commercial debts navigate state collection laws, statutes of limitations, mechanic's liens, judgment enforcement, and FDCPA exemptions for original creditors.

Commercial Leases in Maryland

Maryland commercial leases differ fundamentally from residential — far less tenant protection, more negotiation, and major financial commitments. Common types: gross, net (NNN), modified gross, percentage.

Consumer Protection Claims in Maryland

Maryland consumer protection laws — state UDAP statutes + federal FTC Act + Magnuson-Moss + similar — provide treble damages + attorney's fees for deceptive business practices.

Forming a Corporation in Maryland

Maryland corporations require articles of incorporation + bylaws + initial board meetings + ongoing compliance — federal C-corp / S-corp tax election decides taxation.

How to Form an LLC in Maryland

Maryland LLC formation costs $100. Annual obligation: $300 annual report.

Franchise Law in Maryland

Maryland franchise law combines the federal FTC Franchise Rule with state-specific franchise registration / disclosure / relationship laws.

Mergers and Acquisitions in Maryland

Maryland M&A transactions can be structured as asset sales, stock sales, or mergers — each with different tax, liability, and legal consequences for both buyer and seller.

Non-Disclosure Agreements in Maryland

Maryland non-disclosure agreements are generally enforceable as ordinary contracts. Disclosing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Act of 2018 limits NDAs.
