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 retired judge John Gibbons. The department tackles litigation disputes in areas including commercial, environmental, health care law, and white collar crime.^[2]

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,^[3] 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.^[4] 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.^{[citation needed]}
