Bigger isn't always better?And for nearly thirty years, we have proven it time and time again.

Walker, GWBP has appreciated long term success in a cut throat New York market by staying true to its founding partners' guiding principle: Always bring value to the client.

In the nearly three decades since its inception, GWBP has consistently excelled in its representation of its clients, whether it be in the defense of a product manufacturer facing a high exposure personal injury case, or through the imparting of strategic legal advice to a Fortune 500 company in furtherance of its business operations. GWBP's utilization of a lean, experienced and dedicated team of trial and corporate attorneys enables it to provide a streamlined, cohesive and effective representation to a diverse group of clients.
