Greg L. Waterworth

Greg is a trial attorney who represents clients in complex commercial, construction, and real estate disputes before state and federal courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators. He has depth in the renewable energy sector, representing offshore wind and utility-scale solar developers in litigation, arbitration, and regulatory proceedings — including multijurisdiction environmental and permitting challenges, EPC contract disputes, and multiweek arbitration hearings involving claims exceeding $100 million.

His construction litigation practice extends to wrongful death and survivorship suits, mechanics’ lien enforcement, and defective workmanship defense. Greg also represents real estate investment trusts (REITs), commercial landlords and tenants, investors, software companies, and community organizations in matters ranging from lease disputes and title challenges to non-compete enforcement and zoning appeals. He has litigated through trial and on appeal, including before the Maryland Appellate Court and the Supreme Court of Maryland.

Greg’s approach is practical and industry-focused. His preference is to resolve disputes efficiently and, wherever possible, avoid litigation. When it is unavoidable, he takes cases the distance.
