Overview

Content is provided by the firm.

With nearly 200 attorneys, Gibbons is a leading law firm in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, DC, and Florida, ranked among the nation’s top 200 by The American Lawyer. Gibbons has been recognized nationally for its work – for example, as one of only 20 law firms on the National Law Journal’s inaugural “Midsize Hot List” – as well as regionally. The New Jersey Law Journal has awarded Gibbons a “Litigation Practice of the Year” designation four times in recent years, in the class actions, products liability, commercial litigation categories and with the overall “General Litigation Practice of the Year” honor. Law360 has also highlighted the firm’s multidisciplinary litigation strength, and its contributions to several high-profile corporate and real estate transactions in the public and private sectors, in its “Regional Powerhouse” series. Gibbons was also selected as “Best Law Firm” and a top three lobbying firm in New Jersey in the NJBIZ Reader Ranking Awards for the past two years. The firm has been certified as a great workplace by the independent analysts at the Great Place to Work® organization.

The firm stands out among competitors by staying true to a middle-market vision. Our business model is focused on offering high quality, cost-effective legal services, handling major matters for mid-market companies (with annual revenues of $100 million to $2.5 billion) and mid-market matters for Fortune 500 companies, notably in the Mid-Atlantic region and expanding down the East Coast. With headquarters in Newark, New Jersey and seven other thriving offices, Gibbons has a presence that lends itself to exceptional regional coverage. With cutting-edge video, audio, and network technology linking all of our offices, we are able to close major deals and devise litigation strategies for matters that involve Gibbons attorneys across several firm offices and client representatives throughout a number of their own locations – as if we were all in the same room.

Gibbons maintains offices in Newark, Trenton, and Red Bank, New Jersey; New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Wilmington, Delaware; and West Palm Beach, Florida.

Highlighted Client Comments

All client comments represent the opinions of the people who provided them. All potential clients are urged to remember that no two cases are ever completely alike and that the result in one case does not guarantee a similar result in another case.
Environmental Law
Gibbons has always provided timely and effective legal advice on environmental matters. They strive to understand the technical aspects of the project in order to provide the best legal advice.
Commercial Litigation
Gibbons's lawyers and support staff were outstanding in every respect in a trademark litigation matter on which our firm teamed with them. Brian McMahon and Brugh Lower, in particular, provided keen strategic guidance during a lengthy and hard-fought litigation that ended with a successful judgment in our client's favor on all issues.
Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law
Dale E. Barney of the Gibbons law firm provides top notch legal representation.
Commercial Litigation
Chris Viceconte at Gibbons is a very knowledgeable and capable attorney who implements cost-effective strategies for resolution of matters. I highly recommend Chris as a litigator.
Employment Law - Management
Our company has worked with Gibbons for many years. We have the utmost confidence in the firm's abilities, and this is why we continue to utilize their services.
Product Liability Litigation - Defendants
Gibbons lawyers have a great understanding of our industry, our objectives, and the best way to manage product litigation so that the business can focus on its business rather than the business of litigating. It is good to have a partner who fits what's best in the litigation based on what's best for our business rather than trying to make the business fit one typical litigation model.
Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions - Defendants
Gibbons has a unique grasp on a corporate client's priorities in the management of litigation. Its lawyers are results driven, cost-conscious, and not bound by a rigid approach to litigation.
Real Estate Law
Gibbons has great partners; they are responsive and adaptable to corporate culture and needs.
Land Use and Zoning Law
Gibbons has excellent lawyers with a depth and breadth of experience. They are a pleasure to work with.
Employment Law - Management
Gibbons is very responsive to our needs and is a pleasure to work with.
Employment Law - Management

Employment Law - Management
The attorneys at Gibbons providing service to us, particularly Susan Nardone, were very knowledgeable and practical in approaching our matters. Susan has great depth of expertise and is confident advocate. We were pleased with the service provided to us.
Corporate Law
I have used Gibbons for corporate work for many years, primarily in the areas of acquisitions, related financings and employee matters. I have found their professionals to be extremely knowledgeable, experienced in their respective fields, and highly responsive to client goals or concerns. They have worked very hard on our behalf, including at the least convenient times of the day, week and year, which I very much appreciate. Perhaps most importantly, they have the rare ability to both carefully protect their client's interests and work comfortably with lawyers representing sellers or banks with whom I am trying to do business. It frequently happens that major, difficult issues arise and they quietly resolve them to my satisfaction by working through the issue with opposing lawyers in a congenial manner. Perhaps because of their experience and effective professional approach, their hours, and therefore fees, are always reasonable. Finally, whenever I have needed ancillary advice in areas such as environmental law, litigation, industry-specific law, or State regulatory matters, they always are able to involve colleagues able to address this new area. I am very appreciative of the very substantial part that Gibbons has played in the success of my business over many years.

I suspect that Russ Bershad is one of the top five real estate attorneys in NJ, and if not, he should be.

Dan Shulman – Reynolds Group
Corporate Law
I have used Gibbons for corporate work for many years, primarily in the areas of acquisitions, related financings and employee matters. I have found their professionals to be extremely knowledgeable, experienced in their respective fields, and overwhelmingly responsive to client goals or concerns. They have worked very hard on our behalf, including at the least convenient times of the day, week and year, which I very much appreciate. Perhaps most importantly, they have the rare ability to both carefully protect their client's interests and work comfortably with lawyers representing sellers or banks with whom I am trying to do business. It frequently happens that major, difficult issues arise and they quietly resolve them to my satisfaction by working through the issue with opposing lawyers in a congenial manner. Perhaps because of their experience and effective professional approach, their hours, and therefore their fees, are always reasonable.

We have worked with Michael and his team for many years and I expect we will continue to do so. We put great trust in Michael and his team and know our best interest is always his priority. It’s rare to have a law firm that actually cares. I would recommend Gibbons to anyone in need.
Shirlee Gowan Hair, Director of Client Contracts & Implementations – The MIGroup

Employment Law - Management
I enjoyed working with the capable attorneys at Gibbons. It is great to have high confidence in their ability handle and manage litigation matters.
Thomas Kim – Pathway Consulting Group Ltd.
Corporate Law
I find Gibbons to be a premier law firm who can compete competently with nearby Manhattan megafirms but with the feel of a closely knit local business partner. I have worked primarily with Kevin Evans and Frank Cannone on the Corporate Law side over the course of at least a dozen large scale commercial transactions and I don't hesitate to pull them into new opportunities. I find their counsel to be invaluable and centered on the principles of common sense and a recognition that the objective is to close a deal in a prompt but diligent manner. Through Kevin and Frank my company has used Gibbons tax counsel as well as its lobby side with great success. All the while, the firm's members make me feel as though I'm a critically important account even though I'm sure they have many accounts dramatically more financially meaningful than ours.
John Geraghty, Managing Director – Vanguard Energy
Land Use and Zoning Law
This practice group is part and parcel of the Real Estate Group at Gibbons. The lawyers I've dealt with are all very knowledgeable of N.J. land use and zoning law, and are on top of court cases that impact land use and practice before planning and zoning boards.
Commercial Litigation
Our choice proved to be an excellent one. Although the litigation lasted longer than anyone would have preferred, the time, attention and responsiveness of the Gibbons firm was always present and thorough. It was a complicated lawsuit and the firm always had our best interests at heart. They are a pleasure to work with them and recommend them to anyone seeking a "Best law firm" to get them through a commercial litigation.
