When you live or work on the waterfront, you face unique issues.  Land can disappear into the water or arise in places that it never was before.  One may have riparian rights or just a waterview.  There are unique construction and environmental issues and neighbour issues that are magnified by the water access.  The bottom of the waters can be owned by individuals or the State, the waterfront itself may be owned by a community association, and everyone's use is subject to the interest of the public in navigation and enjoyment.  Access to the water can be limited by adverse possession or prescription.  These are the issues to which waterfrontlaw.com is devoted. 

Waterfrontlaw and maritime law are the primary practice area of Baylaw, LLC.  The firm offers the finest legal representation in the areas of riparian rights and waterfront ownership, vessel purchase, tax and documentation, civil litigation and small business advocacy.  We represent corporations, individual property owners, community associations, vessel owners, insurance companies, marina operators, boat-builders and surveyors in Maryland, the Mid-Atlantic and around the world. 

Our clients seek us out because we focus on a very narrow range of issues -- the legal issues of the waterfront.  We look forward to working with you.
