Advertising + Marketing
Davis+Gilbert’s eighth year earning a top-tier ranking in both the National and New York City Metropolitan Advertising Law categories further speaks to the firm’s reputation as an industry leader and pioneer within the field. With a 110-year history in the advertising and marketing industry, we represent the world’s leading brands and agencies on virtually every business and legal issue relating to marketing, promoting, advertising and selling. We are at the forefront of changes sweeping the industry, and no law firm can match Davis+Gilbert’s in-depth experience in meeting all needs of advertisers and agencies, or has more attorneys dedicated to this work.
Entertainment and Sports
Davis+Gilbert’s history is rooted in working with creators and distributors of creative content in virtually every medium and those financing these activities. As today’s entertainment, media and sports industries converge and technology continues to create new outlets, no law firm is better positioned to guide clients through the evolving laws, business practices and regulatory scrutiny seeking to keep pace with these developments. Our media lawyers help clients as they create and develop new channels for consuming content drawn from music, film, television and theatre; secure talent; and negotiate for and protect myriad intellectual property rights, often at times when those rights are perceived as fluid.
Labor + Employment
Davis+Gilbert’s innovative guidance on both routine and complex employment concerns has made us the “go-to” firm for all types of businesses, especially those in creative industries, seeking to protect their best interests while providing a desirable environment for employees. The firm’s labor + employment attorneys regularly counsel and advise companies on the full range of employment matters and disputes including restrictive covenants, reductions-in-force, discrimination and wage and hour issues.
Litigation – Labor + Employment
Davis+Gilbert’s seasoned litigators regularly handle disputes for companies in the service sector and other “people intensive” businesses. A significant portion of our practice focuses on representing clients in litigation arising from employment discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims, restrictive covenants, employment contracts, trade secrets and technology-related disputes. We also have extensive experience in handling disputes related to federal and state wage and hour laws (both in connection with individual and class action claims), Dodd-Frank, ERISA and the NLRB.
Real Estate
Davis+Gilbert offers one of New York City’s preeminent Real Estate practices, representing clients in all real estate matters involving the ownership, leasing, conveyancing and financing of properties for commercial, retail, development, investment or residential use across the country. We are consistently recognized for handling Manhattan’s largest retail, office and commercial leases on behalf of tenants and landlords in a range of industries, as well as pension trusts and the owners of many high-profile office buildings and complexes.
