Houston, TX, July 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Blank Rome LLP is pleased to announce that Gregory J.

A well-known trial lawyer with a diversified practice, Greg handles commercial litigation matters that include class actions, breach of contract claims, and disputes related to economic damage, personal injury, and professional services.

Greg has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial litigation cases in state and federal court and in arbitrations conducted pursuant to AAA, FINRA, and CPR rules. His trial successes include representing oilfield services companies in arbitration claims and class action lawsuits under the Fair Labor Standards Act as well as various companies and clients in breach of alleged employment contracts, breach of contract claims, and contractual indemnity claims. He supports clients across several industries, including energy, automotive, retail, food and beverage, healthcare, and financial services.

“Greg has almost two decades of leading trial experience in Houston that will bring great value to our clients looking for strong and successful trial skills in this market,” said Susan L.
