Clarick Gueron Reisbaum

What Clarick Gueron Reisbaum does

Clarick Gueron Reisbaum (CGR) is a New York-based boutique litigation law firm founded in 2011 by Gregory A. Clarick, Nicole Gueron, and Emily Reisbaum, with offices at 41 Madison Avenue. The firm operates with 18 attorneys across six partners, one of counsel, five counsel, and six associates, and is organized around nine practice areas: Art & Entertainment Litigation, Bankruptcy Litigation, Commercial Litigation, Corporate Ownership & Governance Litigation, Employment Counseling & Litigation, Government Litigation/Investigations/Monitorships, Intellectual Property Litigation, Pro Bono, and Securities & Derivative Litigation. The firm serves enterprise clients, financial institutions, high-net-worth individuals, artists and entertainers, and government agencies, with a representative client roster that includes Goldman Sachs, Amazon and Audible, StreetEasy/Zillow, Creative Artists Agency, Sixth Street Partners, Harbinger Capital, SVB Securities, Roark Capital portfolio companies, the New York State Department of Health, the New York State Liquidation Bureau, and the Citywide Council of Presidents representing 400,000+ NYCHA residents.

CGR's core offering is human-delivered legal representation — there is no proprietary technology, software product, or AI/ML component; engagements are billed under the traditional professional services model on hourly or matter-specific fee structures (pricing is not publicly disclosed). GTM is reputation- and referral-driven: client acquisition runs through partner networks, prior-firm and government relationships, published case results, and pro bono representation in high-profile constitutional and civil-rights matters (e.g., FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter at the U.S. Supreme Court, Maurene Comey's DOJ wrongful-termination suit, and a Second Circuit amicus on New York firearms licensing).

The firm's competitive position rests on concentrated talent from top-tier law firms and senior government enforcement roles (multiple former AUSAs from the SDNY, a former Deputy Chief Trial Counsel to the New York Attorney General, and laterals from Cravath, Paul Weiss, Davis Polk, Skadden, and Weil Gotshal). This bench has produced sustained Chambers Band 1 rankings in Labor & Employment (Chambers USA, 2007-2025) and Art & Cultural Property Law, multiple Lawdragon 500 designations, and the 2019 Benchmark Litigation Labor & Employment Attorney of the Year award. Revenue is undisclosed and the firm is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
