Sean R. Malone is renowned as a complex problem solver and viewed as a savvy and passionate advocate before all three branches of Maryland government. He is also a highly respected attorney representing clients with public policy, legal, government and labor related problems.
Throughout the course of his 22+ year legal career, Malone has enjoyed significant and numerous victories in the courtroom, at the negotiation table and in the halls of state and local government.

Malone was named a 'Maryland Influencer' by Campaigns & Elections Magazine for his work around the state and for the past 12 years and has ranked among Maryland's most prominent lobbyists. Before joining HJM, Malone had a prolific career in public service working as: the Deputy Legislative Officer in the Governor's Office of Legislative Affairs; the State's Chief Labor Negotiator; the Labor Commissioner for Baltimore City; and a member of the command staff for the Baltimore Police Department serving as the Department's Chief Legal Counsel and Chief of Professional Standards.
