BETHESDA, MD (March 18, 2022) – Paley Rothman is pleased to announce that David Shapiro will become the next President of the Maryland State Bar Association.

He has an extensive background representing business entities, healthcare providers, surgical centers, professional service vendors, and entrepreneurs in a broad range of general business, commercial, regulatory, and complex transactional matters, including early-stage business planning, business management and operations, equity and asset transfers, inter- and intra-business contract relationships, mergers and acquisitions, and collaborative and adversarial business owner and proxy dispute resolutions.

He received his B.A. from the University of Maryland at College Park.
