Ginny Cascio Bonifacino, Esq.
Partner (she / her)
Ginny co-founded Nazareth Bonifacino Law Benefit LLC, Maryland’s first Certified B CorporationTM law firm. She has over a decade of experience as a business attorney and outside counsel on both coasts — Maryland/DC and California, with a focus in transactional, intellectual property, and employment law. While Ginny’s clients are from all industries, she often counsels businesses with creative assets they wish to protect and monetize. This enables her to utilize her strong intellectual property background and provide additional value as general counsel.
In the past, Ginny served in the legal departments of the Chicago History Museum and the National Endowment of the Arts in Washington D.C. on a variety of business, employment, and intellectual property topics. She also interned for Judge Glenn T. Harrell of the Maryland Court of Appeals and Judge Richard Cudahy of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
Ginny is dedicated to fostering community through her roles on the Board of the Rockville Science Center and a Leader of her daughter's Daisy Girl Scout Troop. In addition to these responsibilities, she actively supports women entrepreneurs as a volunteer attorney for the Maryland Women's Business Center. Ginny also contributes pro bono work to the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and the Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts.
Outside of her legal career, Ginny spends most of her time cooking, reviewing cookbooks, and running after her children.
