DLA Piper is pleased to announce that Paul A. Tiburzi has been unanimously elected as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Greater Baltimore Committee (GBC). The GBC is an organization of business and civic leaders concerned with issues relating to economic growth, job creation, workforce development, transportation and quality of life. He succeeds outgoing GBC Chairwoman, Stephanie Hill, senior vice president for Corporate Strategy and Business Development for Lockheed Martin.

Tiburzi, a Baltimore native whose father was a Baltimore City Police sergeant, is chair of the firm's State Public Policy and Administrative Law practice. For many years he served as managing partner of the firm's Baltimore office.

Tiburzi focuses his practice on public law, sports law and administrative litigation matters. He has appeared before most of Maryland's administrative agencies and has handled appellate litigation arising from administrative decisions. Tiburzi has counseled clients, including professional sports teams, on political and financing issues related to the development and use of stadiums and sports venues. He has also served as Maryland legislative counsel to many Fortune 500 companies.

"Paul is a lawyer's lawyer and a strong advocate for Baltimore," said Brett Ingerman, DLA Piper's Baltimore office managing partner. "Paul's efforts in support of the GBC are a reflection of our firm’s commitment to our clients in the region."

Tiburzi joined Piper and Marbury in 1981 after clerking for Harrison L. Winter, Chief Judge of the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. He has spent his entire career at the firm.

Tiburzi offered the following statement on his election: "It is a singular and unique honor to be elected chairman of the Greater Baltimore Committee. I accept this role with enthusiasm and optimism. The GBC has always been a special organization to me personally, to my law firm and to all of greater Baltimore. For over 60 years the GBC has made Baltimore a better place to live and work. I will work to continue that tradition. Baltimore should be, and can be, the greatest, safest, city in the country. We plan to be active, vocal and aggressive to make that happen. Working with Mayor Catherine Pugh and Governor Larry Hogan, the GBC will be a force for change and renewal for our city and region."

Tiburzi has been included in The Best Lawyers in America every year since 2006 and was named Best Lawyers' 2014 and 2018 Baltimore Government Relations Practice Lawyer of the Year. He has also repeatedly been honored by the Maryland Daily Record, receiving its award for Most Admired CEO in 2013 for his leadership of the firm's Baltimore office. In 2008, the Daily Record named him one of its 2008 Influential Marylanders, based on influence, prominence, achievement and community involvement, and in 2005, he received the Daily Record's Leadership in the Law honor, acknowledging the outstanding nature of his practice and his leadership in the Maryland legal community. He was also selected by Leaders in Law to receive the Top Leadership in Law Award for 2005.

Tiburzi is a graduate of Loyola Blakefield, Loyola University and the University of Maryland School of Law. He also serves on the Board of Trustees of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).
