TREY HILBERG

Miles & Stockbridge P.C.

Trey Hilberg, a principal at Miles & Stockbridge P.C., advises clients on entity formation and restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, equity and debt financings and general securities and governance matters, as well as the negotiation and drafting of shareholder agreements, operating agreements and other commercial contracts.
    

He also regularly assists companies on matters of Maryland business entity law, with particular focus on real estate investment trusts, registered investment companies and business development companies.

Hilberg earned his juris doctor from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law in 2017, where he was a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission Honors Program. He holds a bachelor of science from Washington College and was admitted to the Maryland State Bar in 2017. Immediately following law school, he served as a judicial law clerk for Administrative Judge Kathleen G. Cox of the Baltimore County Circuit Court.

His honors include selection to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Corporate Law and Mergers & Acquisitions Law from 2024 to 2026, and recognition in the Maryland Super Lawyers Rising Stars Edition for Securities & Corporate Finance from 2022 to 2025.

He is also a national finalist in the American Bar Association Alternative Dispute Resolution Competition and a recipient of CALI Excellence for the Future Awards in Drafting Negotiated Agreements and Tax Clinic, as well as the University of Maryland School of Law Joseph Bernstein Prize for Publication.

Outside his client work, Hilberg serves as a board member of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Maryland Chapter and as advocacy chair for its Mid-Atlantic Region. He is also active in the Maryland State Bar Association, serving on the Business Law Section Council as legislative liaison and as vice chair of the Laws Committee.

A lifelong Marylander, Hilberg has said he is “enamored by the resiliency and innovation of the Maryland business community,” and looks forward to continued advocacy for making it easier to do business in the state. He also cites the culture at Miles & Stockbridge — a firm he describes as deeply rooted in the history of Maryland’s legal profession — as something he feels privileged to be part of and believes he owes it to the colleagues and lawyers who came before him to continue to advance that work.

Hilberg also devotes time to mentoring law students, regularly meeting with them through formal events and informal conversations. He emphasizes that the practice of law is fundamentally a people business, and that lawyers who take the time to know their clients deeply are better positioned to look around corners and solve problems that lie ahead.
