About

Provided by Gibbs & Bruns LLP

Staying true to its original firm model since 1983, Gibbs & Bruns lawyers focus their practice on complex commercial litigation disputes for both plaintiffs and defendants. High-stakes and huge-exposure matters are the firm’s forte, although we handle all manner of small- and medium-sized disputes for a variety of clients. Over the years, our work with clients has provided significant exposure to the banking, financial services, energy, technology, insurance, health care, and construction industry sectors. Yet, the firm itself has remained boutique-sized, earning a reputation for an “incredibly consistent array of talent,” and a “leaner and more effective approach to complex litigation.” (Chambers USA).
