Charlie Monk handled complex, high-stakes litigation, but is now limiting his practice to strategic consulting assignments. During his 50 years as a trial lawyer, clients ranging from governmental entities and security broker dealers to energy providers and utilities have relied on his legal counsel to help them deal with complex litigation. He has led litigation teams dealing with public policy litigation, pension issues, bankruptcy litigation, multi-district securities and RICO claims, and utility mergers.
Charlie's skill as a trial lawyer was built on a foundation of work in the Maryland Attorney General's Office, where he served as deputy attorney general, overseeing criminal and civil enforcement matters.
In addition to his legal work for clients, Charlie has served the Firm as an Executive Committee member, Baltimore Office managing partner, Litigation Department vice chair and was managing partner of a predecessor firm. He is passionate about civic and community involvement and has served in various leadership roles as a way of giving back to the State of Maryland and his native Baltimore City.
