Case Studies

Gallagher’s experience in completing complex real estate transactions was instrumental in helping Lexington Market Inc. move forward with its estimaged $40 million restoration. 

On February 21, 2020, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granted Gallagher’s request for relief, issuing a preliminary injunction and order to protect what the Court determined are likely to be found to be trade secrets and confidential information of firm client Brightview Group, LP, which develops and operates 40 senior living facilities between Northern Virginia and Boston.

In July 2014, Gallagher attorney Peter Keith was appointed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to serve as Receiver of over 17 business entities sued by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for engaging in fraudulent and deceptive sales practices.

The Center for Pregnancy Concerns is a Baltimore-based, private, nonprofit agency that helps pregnant women with counseling and support services. The Center does not perform abortions, or provide abortion referrals. In 2009, Baltimore City passed an Ordinance that would have forced the Center to post a “disclaimer” about the free services it provided.  After extensive discovery, legal briefing, and oral arguments, Gallagher won a final, unanimous ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which struck down the Ordinance as unconstitutional.
