Gregory B. Gilmore’s primary areas of practice include complex commercial litigation, ERISA litigation, and employment and labor law, representing management exclusively. His practice also includes representation of a variety of companies in the defense of product liability, general liability, professional liability and automobile negligence claims.

Mr. Gilmore’s experience includes obtaining summary judgment on behalf of a construction company client in the defense of a product liability wrongful death claim. In a potential seven- figure damages case, he secured the dismissal of negligent entrustment and hiring claims against an international overnight delivery company, which resulted in preclusion of the defendant driver’s driving history, including prior motor vehicle violations and the company’s safety and training manuals and videos. The preclusion of these materials led to a favorable settlement.
