Berardesco, senior vice president, general counsel, corporate

The Leadership in Law Award was created in 2000 to recognize
individuals whose leadership, both in the legal profession and in
the community, has made a positive impact in the state of Maryland.
Berardesco was chosen to receive the award due to his efforts in
stabilizing and strengthening Constellation Energy, including an

Constellation Energy’s nuclear fleet.
As general counsel for Constellation Energy, Berardesco has
primary responsibility for the company's legal strategies and
policies, including corporate governance, legal compliance and
ethics, corporate finance activities, mergers and acquisitions, and
litigation.
Berardesco also serves as the chairman of Constellation Energy's
Diversity Council, a cross functional team of leaders from across
the enterprise that work on incorporating diversity and inclusion
into the workplace.
Prior to joining Constellation Energy, Berardesco had practiced
law for nearly 20 years, both in-house and as external counsel. He
is active in a number of charitable organizations, including having
served as chairman of the board of the Woodbourne Center, president
of the Presbyterian Home of Maryland, chair of the Church Council
of Foundry United Methodist Church and a member of the board of
directors of the Baltimore Choral Arts Society and the Hippodrome
Foundation. He is a member of the Business Council of the Human
Rights Campaign, the largest civil rights organization working to
achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
Americans.
Berardesco was one of 24 individuals to receive the award. The
2010 Leadership in Law awards will be celebrated at a luncheon at
the BWI Hilton on Friday, Nov. 19, 2010.
