The 2013 edition of the Chambers USA Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business features the largest number of Gibbons practice areas (10) and individual attorneys (26) ever ranked in the top tiers of this publication. The firm has appeared in the New Jersey section of the Chambers guide since its inception.

Chambers annually rates the nation’s leading business lawyers and law firms through comprehensive interviews with top companies, attorneys, and business executives, plus extensive supplementary research.

“Gibbons has consistently, year over year, improved in its Chambers rankings, and we are proud to be recognized as one of New Jersey’s preeminent firms by this leading industry publication,” notes Patrick C. Dunican Jr., Chairman and Managing Director of Gibbons.

The Chambers excerpt and client testimonials included below highlight the Gibbons Employment & Labor Law Department, which ranked in the guide’s top two tiers for New Jersey.

This firm’s employment and labor law practice is largely weighted towards employment law, but is also noted for its handling of traditional labor matters. The group has been particularly active in its representation of pharmaceutical and financial services companies in discrimination and wage and hour matters. Current clients include Manhattan Physicians Laboratories and JPMorgan Chase. Sources say: “They go above and beyond on responsiveness and accessibility and when they do something it is done right first time.”
