About KatzDay
KatzDay is a boutique real estate and business law firm based in Maryland, serving clients across the Mid-Atlantic. Our attorneys bring experience as in-house counsel, business owners and transactional advisors to the legal and business decisions behind each project.
Six of our nine attorneys have worked in-house — for homebuilders, a commercial brokerage, investment and development firm, a bank, a vacation property asset manager, and an automotive company on charging-station leasing. That experience informs how we approach transaction risk, operational priorities and the documents clients must work with after closing.
Clients work directly with senior attorneys on acquisitions, development, financing, leasing and dispositions.
