Denise Bowman is the Managing Partner at the Law Offices of Alexander & Cleaver. She
joined the firm in 1990 and practices in the areas of business corporate litigation and transactions; government, ethics and campaign finance compliance (federal, state and local); economic development; procurement; and representation before administrative boards and agencies.
Denise regularly advises corporate clients on implementation and development of policies and
procedures to assure ethics and campaign finance compliance. Denise has spoken extensively
throughout the State on lobbying, ethics and campaign activity.
Denise has worked with contractors and vendors on procurement matters at the state and local
levels including bid protests before procurement officers, local boards, and the Maryland
State Board of Contract Appeals. She regularly assists clients with minority certification

her procurement services.
She has worked with numerous clients in complex transactions, both large and small, where
the firm has served as not only primary, but also as local counsel including drafting all types
of contracts, opinion letters and related documents. Her legal work includes the business/real
property/corporate issues of transactions and coordination for each client with the A&C attorneys working on the regulatory and compliance issues. A few sample cases in recent years included our representation of:
• Southern Energy and Mirant in the purchase of Pepco's generating assets in Maryland
(2000-2)
• FPL Group in the merger transaction with Constellation Energy (2006)
• Verizon in various condemnation and land issue cases (ongoing)
• Mid-American Energy in the transaction with Constellation Energy (2008)
Acknowledging her commitment to women’s business issues in her community, Denise was
