In today’s ever-changing, legal landscape, it’s important to have experienced, insightful, and reliable counsel on your side. Garfunkel Wild, P.C. (GW) is a full-service law firm uniquely situated to help its clients navigate the various legal and practical challenges they face on a daily basis.
GW was founded over forty years ago with a single purpose in mind—to attend to the specific business and legal needs of its clients in the health care industry and beyond. We have never wavered from that commitment. We continue to represent one of the largest and most diverse groups of health care clients in the tri-state area. At the same time, GW has also grown to meet the demands and challenges facing clients in many other industries, by adding complementary practice groups, as well as individual attorneys with a wide range of experience, many of whom also bring a unique perspective to the firm based on prior professional lives—including nurses, former prosecutors, in-house counsel, and others.
We have more than 85 attorneys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida, representing clients across more than a dozen practice areas, including Health Care, Business, Compliance and White Collar Defense, HIPAA Compliance, Health Care Information and Technology, Corporate Reorganization & Bankruptcy, Employment, Environmental, Finance and Real Estate, Litigation & Arbitration, Appellate Litigation, Insurance Regulatory, Discharge Planning, Patient Rights and Elder Law, Tax, and Personal Services and Estate Planning. Our size and scope provides depth, breadth of knowledge and experience essential to serve our clients. At the same time, the firm is small enough to provide the personal attention our clients need and deserve.
We believe that the ability to efficiently harness our varied experiences and bring them to bear on each client’s unique concerns in a collaborative and practical manner leads to better legal representation.
Knowledge, experience, personal attention, and practical advice. It’s how we strive to provide our clients with the best possible value. This approach has made Garfunkel Wild trusted counsel to our many clients for more than 30 years.
