Kathleen J.P. Tabor and Jan I. Berlage, “Maryland Equine Law: A Legal Guide to Horse Ownership and Activities” (Go Dutch Publishing, 2011)

In this podcast I interview Kathleen J.P. Tabor, Esq. about a book she co-wrote with Jan I. Berlage, Maryland Equine Law: A Legal Guide to Horse Ownership and Activities (Go Dutch Publishing, 2011). Attorney Tabor describes how her practice as an Equine Lawyer brings her in touch with diverse areas of the law such as contract law, international law, and tort law. She also discusses how effective lawyering by attorneys who understand the horse industry help maintain positive relationships between and among equestrians.

Kathleen is a solo practitioner of the Law Office of Kathleen J.P. Tabor, LLC, a general civil practice with a special focus on agricultural and equine businesses, activities, and ownership. Her practice has taken her all across the State of Maryland. In addition to her legal training, Kathleen is a trained mediator and collaborative practitioner.
