Kramon & Graham Managing Principal David Shuster selected for 2021 Leadership in Law award
Shuster is recognized for excellence and achievement in the legal profession
Kramon & Graham is pleased to announce that David J. Shuster, Managing Principal of the firm, has been named a recipient of the Daily Record's 2021 Leadership in Law Award. He will be recognized at a virtual awards ceremony on June 17.
Since 2000, The Daily Record has recognized lawyers and judges throughout Maryland for their outstanding contributions to the legal profession and the greater communities where they live and work. This year's Leadership in Law awardees were selected by an outside panel of legal professionals based on their professional achievements, commitment to community service, and mentoring activities.
Recognized as one of Maryland's top trial lawyers, Dave represents commercial clients in complex high-stakes business litigation, non-compete and trade secrets litigation, construction claims, and real estate litigation. Dave also has significant experience representing plaintiffs in claims involving serious personal injuries. His impressive results have led to professional honors including recognition by Benchmark Litigation, and The Best Lawyers in America.
"This award is very well-deserved," commented Kramon & Graham Chairman Philip Andrews. "Dave's extraordinary service to the legal community at large and his unstinting dedication to his work on charitable boards certainly merit this coveted honor. And, as our law firm well knows, Dave's skilled, steady, and clear-eyed leadership has been especially meaningful and vital during the coronavirus pandemic. We are fortunate that Dave is our colleague and friend, and we are proud that his impressive record of achievement and community service has been recognized."
Active in Baltimore's business and civic community, Dave serves on the Court of Appeals of Maryland Sixth Appellate Circuit Character Committee. He also serves on the board of several charitable organizations, including Casey Cares, JDRF Maryland, and the Downtown Partnership.
Dave joins other Kramon & Graham attorneys who have received the Leadership in Law honor in past years: Andrew Jay Graham, who received the Top Leadership in Law Award; Natalie McSherry, who was selected for the Leadership in Law Lifetime Achievement Award; and Philip Andrews, Jeffrey Scherr, Steven Klepper, and Ezra Gollogly.
