As Baltimore nears a recommendation for a police monitor under a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice, Venable remains as the only law firm in a select group of finalists vying for the role. Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, meanwhile, has signed on for an additional three years—and fees of up to $6.4 million—in a similar role in New Orleans after its selection in 2013.
Venable is one of four finalists for the Baltimore police monitoring role, called for in a consent decree reached with the Justice Department following an investigation launched in the wake of Freddie Gray’s 2015 death from injuries suffered while in police custody.
