NATURE OF PRACTICE AND FIRM OVERVIEW
Since 1971 our firm, in various partnership forms, has provided specialized representation of clients doing business in or affecting New Jersey and New York in Federal and State Courts, both at trial and on appeal, as well as before administrative bodies. Our varied and distinguished firm members bring a broad spectrum of backgrounds (including medicine, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, pharmacy, manufacturing, industry, science, insurance & reinsurance, environmental, real estate and claims/risk management), together with their jury and bench trial expertise and counseling, to the representation of clients and relationships with corporations, carriers and underwriters.
The integration of our diverse staff enables Garrity, Graham, Murphy, Garofalo & Flinn to approach construction liability, corporate/commercial and contractual disputes, environmental coverage and litigation, employment related practices, insurance coverage and litigation, medical malpractice and hospital professional liability, pharmaceutical and medical device, premises liability, product liability, professional liability, transportation and real estate aspects of a client's business under our experienced umbrella of legal representation, and to provide effective, vigorous and appropriate trial representation while working at maximum efficiency and effectiveness towards ultimate resolution.
While many so called "full service" large law firms offer to defend underwriters, insureds or corporate entities, their primary focus and expertise is spread thin to include anyone who is willing to pay their hourly rates. At Garrity, Graham, Murphy, Garofalo & Flinn we provide specialized, pro active and efficient representation to those faced with litigation. We are aware of insurance and reinsurance matters which play a part in the equation along with appropriate risk management and claims management. Few firms in New Jersey have the strong track record of jury trials, coupled with significant domestic and international insurance and reinsurance expertise which Garrity, Graham, Murphy, Garofalo & Flinn provides to underwriters, insureds and individual professionals and lay persons in New Jersey and New York.
Our unique composition of professionals with litigation orientation assists us in evaluating the most effective methods to resolve disputes, whether by negotiation, arbitration, mediation, or litigation, while proactively reporting to and cooperating with underwriters and protecting the interests of the client.
However, our litigation orientation does not diminish our securing of protection for all of our clients' rights, whether they be coverage disputes, or contractual, commercial, or intellectual property matters.
Our staff of professionals have experience and personal and professional interest in a variety of disciplines, including insurance and reinsurance disputes/issues, complex commercial and business disputes, professional liability, environmental law, employment and labor law, premises liability, products liability, pharmaceutical and medical device, transportation, intellectual property, and technology. Garrity, Graham, Murphy, Garofalo & Flinn, and it’s partners, have represented a variety of national and international underwriters, insureds, corporations, and individuals in significant and complex litigation and coverage matters and have been approved as panel counsel for well respected domestic and international underwriters, corporations and new technology firms. Our counsellors have licenses ranging from California to New York and are capable of representing the local, regional, national and international interests of our clients.
