Gilbert LLP

Gilbert LLP is a Washington, DC-based law firm with expertise in risk management, insurance recovery, litigation, and strategic consulting. Gilbert’s specialty is complex dispute resolution, and we bring unmatched insight and innovation to every problem we confront. Our record is one of pioneering accomplishments. We build long-term partnerships with our clients by devising enterprising paths to the most rewarding outcomes possible. 

Our attorneys take on highly complex legal and business challenges and produce results for our clients that exceed expectations.

A key tenet of Gilbert’s philosophy is to “give back.” All of the lawyers and other employees at Gilbert engage in public service work. This includes participation in and support of public interest organizations, community initiatives, and local educational and charitable activities. Our commitment also includes substantial pro bono legal work. 

Pro bono legal work at Gilbert runs the gamut. No case is too large or too small, and no adversary is too powerful.  We have represented individual, institutional and government clients  on a wide array of issues, including immigration, family law, torts, civil rights, housing, special education, insurance, and asylum. We have helped public service organizations assess their business risks and place their insurance coverage. We have represented civil rights organizations before the United States Supreme Court and many appellate courts. We have negotiated with foreign governments to secure the release of U.S. citizens improperly detained abroad. As with all of Gilbert’s matters, our goal in pro bono representation is to develop and implement strategic approaches that will solve our clients’ problems. We encourage our attorneys to seek pro bono work, and make our firm widely available to individuals and organizations who need expert legal assistance.

The National Law Review names law firm Gilbert LLP as a Go-To Thought Leader in the field of Insurance Law. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, authors Emily P. Grim, Alison Gaske, and Brandon Levey provided extensive coverage of the conflict’s impact on insurance coverage, as well as guidance on how to mitigate substantial financial losses with political risk insurance policies. The firm’s thought leadership serves as a valuable resource for professionals seeking risk management direction as the war between Russia and Ukraine continues to unfold. 

Gilbert LLP is a National Law Review Go-To Thought Leader for the firm’s expert analysis of policyholder litigation and proposed legislation related to Business Interruption insurance stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.  Topics addressed by Gilbert include: the rights of policyholders to pursue Coronavirus related business interruption and extra expense coverage, the insurance industry’s objections to COVID-19 claims under various state laws and the core tenants of what an insurer must show if they are going to deny coverage. The following attorney authors were Gilbert’s most frequent contributors in 2020: Mark A. Packman, Jason S. Rubinstein and Daniel I. Wolf.
