New law firm leader wants to harness Baltimore tech hub for growth

Womble Bond Dickinson has tapped a former Maryland Technology Development Corp. chairman to lead its Baltimore office as the city is poised to benefit from its status as a federal tech hub. Newt Fowler, who took over the managing partner role earlier this month, has worked for other prominent city law firms and is well connected in the Baltimore tech scene, having served on the TEDCO board for a number of years, including as its chairman.
