Gibbons has a long history, dating back to its founding in 1926 by Andrew Crummy. After working as an IRS agent he formed a law partnership which was originally called Crummy & Rossbach. The late John J. Gibbons, for whom the firm is currently named, originally joined the firm in 1950, and, after several years with the firm, he was named a partner, and the firm’s name changed to Crummy, Consodine & Gibbons. In the years that followed, John Gibbons left the firm to become a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and the firm became known as Crummy, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione. Andrew Crummy passed away in 1981, leaving a strong legacy in a firm that continued to grow and provide legal services to a variety of clients.

After working as an ] agent, he formed a law partnership with fellow attorney Adam Rossbach that was originally called Crummy & Rossbach.

==Recognition==
John Gibbons rejoined the firm in 1990, after concluding 20 years of service on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, where he served as the Chief Judge and authored more than 800 published opinions. Soon afterwards, the firm changed its name to Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione, in tribute to his contribution to the legal field and the firm.
The ''New Jersey Law Journal'' has awarded Gibbons a "Litigation Practice of the Year" designation five times in recent years, in the employment, class actions, products liability, and commercial litigation categories and with the overall "General Litigation Practice of the Year" honor.<ref>{{cite web |date=2023 |title=New Jersey Legal Awards 2023 Honorees |url=https://www.event.law.com/njlawjournal-njlegalawards/2023-honorees}} </ref> In addition, the Gibbons Government & Regulatory Affairs Group, based in its Trenton office, was the top lawyer-lobbying firm by revenue in the state of New Jersey in 2023, the fifteenth consecutive year the firm achieved that rank.<ref>{{cite news |title=NJ ELEC Lobbying Annual Reports - 2022 |newspaper=New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission |url=https://www.elec.nj.gov/pdffiles/press_releases/pr_2023/pr_03092023.pdf |accessdate=6 November 2023}}</ref>



The firm opened its New York office in 1997, providing clients with legal services in a second location in the region. In the following years, the office grew to more than 40 lawyers through the acquisition of additional New York attorneys. In 2002, the firm relocated its New York office to One Pennsylvania Plaza to accommodate its growth and future expansion. Also that year, the firm opened its Trenton office and introduced its Government & Regulatory Affairs Department.



By the start of 2004, the firm had moved to a corporate management model and had passed the torch of leadership to the next generation. Patrick C. Dunican Jr. began as Managing Director of the firm at the age of 37, leading the firm’s 159 lawyers who were then based in three Gibbons offices. Then, in May of 2005, the firm opened its Philadelphia office. This expansion into Philadelphia brought the number of firm offices to four and allowed the firm to serve clients from offices throughout the region.



In 2007, Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione shortened its name to Gibbons P.C. and launched a new logo to coincide with the firm’s move of its headquarters to One Gateway Center in Newark. The firm also changed the skyline of Newark with the addition of its logo atop its new headquarters building.



Also in 2007, for the first time in its 81-year history, Gibbons joined the Am Law 200 and opened another regional office in Wilmington, Delaware, expanding its presence.

Today, Gibbons continues to adapt and grow as it looks to its second century. In 2015, Gibbons moved its Philadelphia and Wilmington offices to upgraded spaces. In 2018, new offices were opened in Washington, DC and West Palm Beach, Florida and the firm opened its eighth office in 2019 in Red Bank, New Jersey.

After working as an IRS agent, he formed a law partnership with fellow attorney Adam Rossbach that was originally called Crummy & Rossbach. Following Rossbach's passing in the mid-1930s, Crummy later partnered with William Consodine in 1945 to form Crummy & Consodine. When John Joseph Gibbons, for whom the firm is currently named, in 1950, its name changed to Crummy, Consodine & Gibbons. Gibbons left in 1970 when he was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Upon his return in 1990, the firm became known as Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione, ultimately shortening its name to Gibbons P.C. in 2007.
