Gary Freed

Gary's practice focuses on solving business disputes. For over thirty years, he has appeared in state and federal courts across the country in trials, arbitrations and mediations. He represents a broad spectrum of clients, including manufacturers, general contractors, developers, insurance companies, recyclers, restaurants, financial institutions and real estate entities. Gary is also a trained mediator and arbitrator focusing on commercial disputes.

Gary's significant representations are many and varied. He recently achieved an eight-figure settlement in wrongful death claims for the estates of a professional football player and his wife who died in an airplane crash; secured a judgment in excess of $14 million for a telecommunications service provider against a telecommunications retailer in a RICO case; defeated a multi-million dollar claim against a commercial lender in a confirmation proceeding; and had a seven-figure judgment set aside by the West Virginia Supreme Court. Recent litigation in which Gary has prevailed include Harris v. Atlanta Board of Education, 105 F.3d 591 (11th Cir. 1997); NCI Group v. Cannon Services, 2009 WL 2411145 (N.D. Ga. 2009); Gordon v. Lee, 2007 WL 1450403 (N.D. Ga. 2007); Satwell Partners v. Admiral Insurance, 2006 WL 1627113 (N.D. Ga. 2006); Pineapple Antitrust Litigation, 342 F. Supp.2d 1348 (S.D.N.Y. 2004); Termnet Merchant Services v. Phillips, 277 Ga. 342 (2003); Amaechi v. Somsino, 259 Ga. App. 346 (2003); and CGU Insurance v. Sabel Industries, 255 Ga. App. 236 (2002).

Gary is a sought-after speaker and presents frequently to attorneys and business practitioners. Since 1995, he has served as moderator and speaker for Lorman Education Services on topics including non-compete covenants, real estate law, and effective deposition taking. Gary has been selected annually by Atlanta Magazine as a "Super Lawyer" in Business Litigation, and Georgia Trend has selected Gary as a member of the "Legal Elite."
