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've enjoyed working with them and have been pleased with their responsiveness and ability to find creative solutions to get a deal done that achieves the client's goals. I suspect that Russ Bershad is one of the top five real estate attorneys in NJ, and if not, he should be.

Paul Sieracki Lonza Inc.

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.
