Lerch Early estates and trusts attorney Paula Calimafde has been honored in The Daily Record’s (TDR) 2026 MD500 list for Trusts & Estates law.

The MD500 “recognizes the state’s most powerful and impactful leaders in business, nonprofits, law, higher education and more,” according to TDR.

Last year, Calimafde, who practices in the Estates and Trusts group at Lerch Early, was named to The Daily Record’s Power List, the predecessor of the MD500.

According to The Daily Record, “the MD500 replaces our longtime Power Lists and Power 100, creating one premier platform that will spotlight Maryland’s top business, legal, financial, healthcare, and civic leaders through print, digital, and social promotion throughout the year.”
