Your biggest legal exposure might already work for you. Handling internal behavior correctly, and documenting it correctly, protects the company. Most employee problems become legal problems only when the paperwork was never in place.

Confidentiality is not automatic. Employees need to sign the correct documentation to keep company material confidential, noncompetes and nondisclosures, signed by all employees, before there is ever a reason to need them.

At Templeton Firm, we help businesses across the state of Maryland put the right employee documentation in place before it’s needed, not after. If you’re not confident every employee at your company has signed a confidentiality agreement, a noncompete, and an NDA, let’s fix that.

The contract you sign today decides the dispute you have in two years. The executives who run these companies are intelligent people. But no one has seen every contract term, and the costly ones are the ones you only learn through experience.

Here’s what most owners never think about until it’s too late. Whether a dispute puts your company’s name in public case searches, or an arbitration clause keeps it quiet. What you’re personally guaranteeing when you sign. And whether the deal even has a way out.

That last one matters more than people realize. With the right clause in place, a company can exit a ten year commercial lease in year five or six if things aren’t going as planned. At Templeton Firm, we review contracts and leases for businesses across the state of Maryland, before they become the dispute you’re stuck with two years from now.

The negotiation is won before anyone sits down.

Companies bring counsel in two ways. Sometimes I lead the negotiation directly. Sometimes I prep the executives before they ever face the other side, so they walk in already knowing what to push for, what to concede, and what to never sign.

Preparation is the advantage, not improvisation. Before big meetings, property purchases, and new leases, your executives should know exactly where they stand before the conversation even starts.

At Templeton Firm, we serve as outside general counsel for businesses across the state of Maryland. If you have a negotiation coming up and want a second set of eyes beforehand, let’s talk before, not after.

Legal issues do not care that you have no lawyer on staff. Most growing companies hit legal questions multiple times a month, but only have true legal matters a few times a year. Not enough for a full time hire. Too much to handle alone.

Here’s what a retainer with outside general counsel actually covers: a weekly meeting to review what the company is doing from a liability standpoint, letters to vendors, debtors, and clients when needed, and the right practices and procedures put in place before problems arrive. The C suite gets a direct line to ask questions anytime, and when a matter needs a specialist, we find the right attorney and manage that relationship.

At Templeton Firm, we serve as outside general counsel for businesses across the state of Maryland. If your company handles legal questions by calling a lawyer only when something breaks, or by Googling it and hoping, let’s talk before the next issue turns into a real problem.

07/22/2026

Your company is too big to wing it. Too small for a legal department.

There is a whole class of companies caught in between. Successful enough to have real legal exposure, real contracts, real employees, real leases. Not big enough to justify a full time attorney on staff. So the legal questions pile up, get answered by guesswork, and turn into problems that were completely preventable.

Over the next few weeks we’re breaking down the outside general counsel model: the contract clauses that save companies, how to walk into a negotiation already ahead, the employee documentation most businesses skip, and how a ten year lease does not have to last ten years.

At Templeton Firm, we serve as outside general counsel for businesses across the state of Maryland. If you have a legal question sitting on your desk right now that you wish you could just run by someone, give us a call.

A DUI does not end at the arrest. The consequences can follow you for 18 months to 3 years, and sometimes longer. Most people only think about the court date.

Here’s what it can actually cost: alcohol awareness classes, probation and fees, an ignition interlock device on your vehicle for a year, restrictions on your license, possible jail time, attorney fees. And that list isn’t exhaustive.

The decisions you make early, what you say at the stop, the deadlines you meet, the preparation before your hearings, shape how long these consequences last. At Templeton Firm we handle both your MVA hearing and your district court case, for clients across the state of Maryland. Contact our office as soon as possible after an arrest.

07/17/2026

What a good DUI outcome looks like. Results range from a dismissal, to a not guilty finding, to probation before judgment, to a conviction, up to jail time. The difference often comes down to preparation and history.

Sometimes you win outright. When there’s no real reason to believe you were under the influence, no admission, no field sobriety test due to a refusal or a faulty one, and no intoximeter results, that may be a case worth trying in front of a judge or jury. We are trial lawyers. When the facts line up, we push for trial to win.

When trial isn’t the right path, a probation before judgment can keep a conviction off your record entirely, protecting you from the insurance increase that comes with a conviction. At Templeton Firm we prepare every case from day one and handle both your MVA hearing and your district court case, for clients across the state of Maryland.

07/15/2026

One DUI arrest. Two cases. The MVA administrative hearing decides whether you keep the privilege to drive in Maryland. The district court case decides your penalty, from fines up to jail time. Most people do not realize the two cases run separately.

At Templeton Firm we handle both, the MVA administrative hearing and the Maryland district court case, for clients across the state of Maryland. If you are stopped, stay calm, stay silent, and call our office as soon as possible.

07/10/2026

The roadside DUI breath test is not what counts. The test on the street is not admissible in court. The test at the precinct is the one that matters, and refusing it carries a mandatory license suspension with limited options to circumvent. Know what you are choosing before you choose it.

If you are stopped, stay calm, stay silent, and call our office as soon as possible. At Templeton Firm we handle DUI cases across the state of Maryland, from the MVA administrative hearing to the district court case.

07/09/2026

Every DUI stop is on camera. Nearly every stop is captured on the officer’s body camera, from the first question to the last, and that recording becomes evidence in discovery. If a health issue such as a knee or hip problem prevents you from doing a field sobriety test, say so clearly on camera so the recording preserves it. At Templeton Firm we review every second of that footage before deciding how to defend a case. We serve clients across the state of Maryland.
