We are pleased to announce that Gregory G. Gorman has joined the firm. Mr. Gorman is a commercial, real estate and employment law trial lawyer who for 25 years has successfully represented numerous clients in high profile cases and multi-million dollar claims.
“I’m thrilled to be joining a team of such talented and accomplished lawyers,” said Mr. Gorman. “They’re truly a group of outstanding attorneys that not only inspire me, but most importantly, motivate me to continue to excel at law.”
Mr. Gorman has been retained as trial counsel in numerous commercial real estate and employment law cases. He uses his litigation expertise as a tool to obtain efficient results for his clients. His high-profile cases include: A jury awarded his client more than $8 million for fraud; he defeated a claim for negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract even though his client did not disclose all of the problems challenging a shopping mall; and he defeated a wrongful termination claim in which the plaintiff and defendant were having an affair.
Mr. Gorman’s business and strategic acumen is polished from years of practical experience as managing counsel of a Fortune 400 company and general counsel to several start-up and mid-sized companies.

He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in wage and hour class actions.
Mr. Gorman teaches executive legal and ethical decision making, business modeling and business law in an organizational consulting doctoral program at Phillips Graduate Institute. He has been hired to train boards regarding their responsibilities and turnaround strategies.
