Four Greater Baltimore law leaders discuss how Covid has changed the industry

Brett Ingerman came to the Baltimore Business Journal’s “In the Room” roundtable event wearing a hot pink tie. He admitted it had been awhile since he donned one, adding “Covid has destroyed the dress code.” Work attire is hardly the only thing that has changed in the past couple of years and specifically in Ingerman’s line of work — the law. The managing partner of Baltimore’s mega law firm DLA Piper and three other top local lawyers, Kelly Powers of Miles & Stockbridge, Jonathan Wachs of Offit Kurman, and George Nemphos of Nemphos Braue, gathered for the roundtable in downtown Baltimore on Tuesday to discuss the dramatic shifts in law, business and the emerging opportunities they’re finding in an extremely busy time in the world.
