About Michelle Quash
Michelle Quash Profit earned her J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1993. She arrived in law school after several years of undergraduate study and left with a degree from one of the country’s most rigorous programs. The credential set a clear path into both private practice and in-house legal work.
Her first notable in-house role came in 2005 when she took on the general counsel position at Investor Resources Group, LLC. There she handled legal matters for the company and worked alongside executives on corporate decisions. The position gave her direct experience inside a corporate legal department and exposed her to the business side of legal problem solving.
In 2015 she became managing partner at Profit Law Office. In that role she balanced client work with the daily responsibilities of running a small firm. Managing partner duties required her to supervise associates, manage client engagements, and attend to the administrative demands of a legal practice. Her career therefore spans both the operational realities of a firm and the demands of corporate counsel work.
Profit has maintained active professional ties to the bar and broader legal community. She is licensed to practice in Maryland and in the District of Columbia. She holds current memberships in the District of Columbia Bar Association and the Maryland State Bar Association. Since 2013 she has also been a member of the American Bar Association and the National Bar Association, participating in committee work and programming when schedules permitted.
Colleagues describe her work as steady and pragmatic. Over the years she has advised clients on transactions, compliance questions, and contract matters. She has combined in-house responsibilities with private practice representation, which gives her a sense of how business objectives and legal risk intersect. She is comfortable moving between negotiation, document drafting, and advising senior management on legal strategy.
Outside of client matters she has overseen law office administration and staffing choices at Profit Law Office. That managerial experience informs how she sets priorities for client service and how the firm allocates resources. She continues to accept engagements that reflect the mix of corporate and transactional law she has handled for two decades.
She currently leads Profit Law Office and centers her practice on serving clients and managing the firm’s operations in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
