Gibbons P.C. is a large U.S. law firm with 200 lawyers in offices across four states including in New York, Philadelphia and Newark.
The firm is best known for its litigation department, which included former judge and retired firm standard-bearer John Gibbons. The department tackles litigation disputes in areas including commercial, environmental, health care law, and white collar crime.
History
The firm was founded in 1926 by Andrew Crummy, a World War I veteran who attended New York University and Harvard Law School. After working as an IRS agent he formed a law partnership which was originally called Crummy & Rossbach. John Joseph Gibbons, for whom the firm is currently named, originally joined the firm in 1950, and stayed until 1969 when he was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Gibbons returned to the firm in 1990, at which point the firm was called Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione. The firm opened its New York office in 1997 and grew to more than 40 lawyers through the acquisition of experienced New York attorneys. In 2002, the firm relocated its New York office to One Pennsylvania Plaza to accommodate its growth and future expansion. It occupies the 37th floor of the One Penn Plaza.
Recognition
In 2016, Gibbons was ranked 185th in the AmLaw 200's list of the 200 largest American law firms and 132nd in profit per attorney on the 2016 survey.
In 2016, Gibbons has been recognized as one of 20 law firms on the National Law Journal’s inaugural "Midsize Hot List". Law360 has also highlighted the firm’s multidisciplinary litigation strength, and its contributions to several high-profile corporate transactions in the public and private sectors, in its “Regional Powerhouse” series. The firm has been ranked one of the top 50 firms nationwide for working women by Working Mother magazine and among the top 100 for diversity by MultiCultural Law magazine in 2013.
