A New York based law firm devoted to insurance defense litigation

Gordon & Silber is a preeminent New York insurance defense law firm established in 1974.

The firm is regularly retained to handle medical malpractice, professional and general liability litigation, toxic torts, products liability, employment discrimination and insurance coverage disputes for clients throughout New York and Northern New Jersey, in particular, New York, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Bergen and Hudson Counties.

Gordon & Silber is centrally and conveniently located in midtown Manhattan, one block from Grand Central Station at 355 Lexington Avenue.

Gordon & Silber was established in 1974 to specialize in medical malpractice defense, and today, it is one of the premier medical malpractice defense firms in the New York area. Today, medical malpractice accounts for approximately 50% of the work that is done by the office.

The firm is unique because unlike the majority of the other medical malpractice defense firms in New York, Gordon & Silber also specializes in several other areas of law, such as construction, toxic tort, premises liability, products liability, automobile, food contamination liability, professional liability, insurance coverage disputes and appellate advocacy.

Thus, when a client hires Gordon & Silber, for a non-medical malpractice assignment, it retains a full service law firm with a tremendous array of resources, both within the firm and outside the firm (experts, investigators etc.), that are not available to other firms doing the same work. The firm presently employs thirty attorneys and various paralegals, including medically trained nurses, who are available to provide expert analysis and reporting of medical records at a fraction of the price an attorney would charge, often with a far greater degree of medial detail, accuracy and analysis.
