New Jersey Law Journal Names Gibbons the 2014 “General Litigation Department of the Year”

The New Jersey Law Journal has named Gibbons P.C. the “General Litigation Department of the Year” for 2014, the top award presented in its second annual “Litigation Departments of the Year” awards program. The general litigation award recognized the firm’s litigation strength in several areas, including commercial litigation, products liability, employment, intellectual property, and media law. In 2013, the firm’s Business & Commercial Litigation Department was named the “Commercial Litigation Department of the Year” in the same awards program.

The 2014 award also recognized the extensive value-added services Gibbons offers litigation clients, including its E-Discovery Task Force, comprehensive Litigation Support Department, innovative and custom alternative fee arrangements, and recruitment focus on former judicial clerks and retired jurists.

The competition was open to any law firm with a litigation practice and New Jersey presence. According to Ronald J. Fleury, Editor in Chief of the New Jersey Law Journal, “In just the second year that the Law Journal has been rating law firm litigation departments based on their recipes for success, participation among firms was noticeably more enthusiastic, and consequently, competition was keener. It was no easy task deciding on winners and finalists among a field of such strong contenders.”

“The cases we have litigated for clients in the past year address some of New Jersey’s more significant projects and hot-button issues,” notes Patrick C. Dunican Jr., Chairman and Managing Director of Gibbons. “Our representative matters included the largest litigation our client had ever faced; one of the most complex groups of business bankruptcies ever filed; a major FINRA arbitration; a huge pharmaceutical class action; and a precedent-setting appellate decision.”
