Equine/Animal Law

Protect Your Animals and Your Business in Maryland

For the owners of horses, farm animals, dogs, cats and other animals, the protection of those animals is not only important from a financial standpoint but can ensure that their well-being is maintained. For business owners whose companies rely upon animals, such as horse and animal boarding and training facilities, veterinarian clinics, and breeders, assessing current and potential risks is vital to their success. Equine and animal law is concerned with providing protection to individuals, businesses and their animals.

At Thienel Law, our experienced attorneys advise animal owners on protecting their investments and loved ones. Protecting animals and animal focused businesses involves a variety of areas under the law — including business law, contract drafting and review, zoning and property law and estate planning — and requires lawyers who have the legal knowledge and extensive backgrounds to effectively handle all of these issues.

Whether you wish to reduce potential business liabilities, protect the welfare of your animals or you need protection from litigation, our attorneys can provide the assistance you deserve. Call us at 443-535-9715 to schedule an initial consultation.

Equine Law for Businesses and Individuals

Being informed about your rights, obligations and risks under the law is critical to finding success with your equine business or the personal ownership of a horse. Operating an equine facility involves issues of licensing, liability, contracts, employment, land use and other potential legal matters. Owning, purchasing and buying a horse also has many risks and liabilities.

For both groups, our lawyers, who have backgrounds in taxation, business law, estate planning, and knowledge of and personal experience with the equine industry, can protect your interests now and into the future. We develop long-term relationships with clients that can help minimize risk now and take care of problems that arise in the future.

Animal Protection Under the Law

When you die, how will the welfare of your animals be protected? After all, your dogs, cats, horses and other animals are important and the law may not provide for them as adequately as you wish. Animal law provides for the rights of animal owners and the welfare of animals. As animal law attorneys, we can help you draft animal trusts and prepare other documents for individuals and businesses that specialize in the preservation and defense of animals.

In Maryland, there are many pet, horse and farm animal owners who need experienced legal assistance and our firm is here to provide for your needs.
