Genova, Burns & Vernoia is a mid-sized law firm which represents many of the premier companies and business interests in the region.  The present day GBV is the result of a long-term vision of the founders to create a law firm that would not only provide excellent legal services to the business community but which also would be very much a part of the political and business community structure at the state and local level.  We recognize that in a competitive legal market competence alone is not enough; our clients have the wherewithal to retain any of the region’s premier law firms.  At GBV, we separate ourselves from the competition by providing legal excellence with the added value of a firm that, whether due to our longstanding relationships or the combined impact of the firm’s novel practice groups, provides a unique resource to our clients.

In addition to a team of legal experts across the range of commercial legal services, GBV has, over the years, represented some of the highest ranking elected officials and many of the key trade associations and lobbying firms in the States of New Jersey and New York. This history makes GBV particularly well-suited for the company that needs a law firm “on the ground” in our region.

Our clients also benefit from the unique geographical footprint of the firm.  GBV straddles “the pathway” between Wall Street and Center City, Philadelphia.  The firm’s main office, consisting of over thirty attorneys, is in Livingston, New Jersey, approximately eight miles west of Newark.  Our Manhattan office is located at 115 Broadway and nearly one half of the firm’s attorneys, including most of our litigation and labor and employment law practice groups, are members of the bars of New York and New Jersey.  Attorneys in the firm’s Camden and Philadelphia offices are members of the bars of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  The firm’s three New Jersey offices, including Red Bank, cover the entire State and are quickly accessible to the courts in all twenty-one counties.  Through our New York and Pennsylvania offices, the firm’s attorneys practice regularly before the federal courts in the Southern District of New York and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and state courts throughout lower New York State and Eastern Pennsylvania.
