What Gersowitz Libo & Korek does

Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. (d/b/a GLK Law, marketed via lawyertime.com) is a privately-held New York plaintiff-side personal injury and medical malpractice law firm founded in 1984 by Edward H. Gersowitz and Andrew L. Libo, with Jeff S. Korek joining as a named partner in 1992 and Michael A. Fruhling becoming partner in 1999. The firm operates from three offices (Manhattan HQ at 111 Broadway's Trinity Building, Englewood NJ, and East Hampton on Long Island) and serves individual injury victims plus corporate-employee referrals across New York and New Jersey.

The firm's core offering is specialized legal representation organized into roughly a dozen practice areas including personal injury, medical malpractice (including birth injuries, cancer misdiagnosis, and IVF negligence), construction accidents, automobile and trucking accidents, premises liability, toxic torts (asbestos, Camp Lejeune, firefighting foam), medication errors, insurance bad faith, workers compensation, wrongful death, and abuse claims (clergy, campus, sex trafficking). Supporting capabilities include a formal attorney-to-attorney referral program with fee-sharing and an exclusive arrangement with CLC Incorporated to serve as the sole chosen law firm for Fortune 500 employee assistance program members in NY/NJ. There is no proprietary software or technology product; the firm is a traditional professional-services practice.

Commercially the firm operates on a contingency-fee basis, charging clients nothing upfront and recovering a percentage of settlements and verdicts only upon winning. Revenue is derived from contingency percentages applied to a caseload that has cumulatively produced over $1 billion in client recoveries since founding, including headline results such as an $18.5M Bronx River Parkway settlement, $12.5M truck accident settlement, and $12M toxic tort settlement. Go-to-market spans direct client acquisition via a 24/7 phone line and website, attorney referrals, the CLC corporate channel, community/philanthropy engagement (e.g., The Gardiner Foundation), earned media across major outlets, and active social/video presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and X.

Direct peers

• The Sanders Firm: New York City personal injury and medical malpractice firm focused on construction accidents, auto accidents, and premises liability. Directly competes with GLK for the same regional plaintiff-side case mix and uses a similar contingency-fee model with a multi-office footprint.
• Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro: National plaintiff-side class action and mass tort firm with active pharmaceutical and product liability dockets (e.g., opioids, automotive defects). Comparable to GLK's mass tort practice and frequently serves as co-counsel or competitor on national drug/device litigation.
• Napoli Shkolnik: NYC-based personal injury, mass tort, and product liability firm with offices in New York and New Jersey. Directly competes with GLK for plaintiff-side mass tort leadership (e.g., Camp Lejeune, 9/11, pharmaceutical cases) and uses a similar contingency-fee model.
• Weitz & Luxenberg: Large New York personal injury and mass tort firm with similar plaintiff-side practice areas (asbestos, pharmaceutical, construction, medical malpractice). Highly comparable because it is the same city and practice mix as GLK, with an even larger national mass-tort footprint and overlapping attorney alumni (Jeff Korek previously worked there).
• Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein: Plaintiff-side class action and mass tort firm with offices in NY and other major metros. Comparable for its role as co-lead or co-counsel in pharmaceutical, product liability, and personal injury MDLs that GLK also litigates, with a similar contingency-fee economics model.
• Gair Gair Conason Rubinowitz Bloom Hershenhorn Steigman & Mackauf: NYC personal injury and medical malpractice firm known for catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and obstetric/gynecologic malpractice cases. Comparable to GLK's medical malpractice and catastrophic injury bench, with a similarly selective intake philosophy.
• Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman LLP: Long-established New York personal injury and medical malpractice firm. Direct peer given its similar plaintiff-side practice mix (medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, mass tort), Manhattan location, and selective case acceptance strategy.
• Cellino Law (formerly Cellino & Barnes): New York-headquartered personal injury firm with heavy marketing spend in the NY metro, focusing on auto, premises, and general negligence cases. Comparable in target customer and contingency-fee model, though its brand emphasis is on volume-based PI advertising rather than GLK's selective high-value approach.

Broad incumbents

• Morgan & Morgan: The largest personal injury firm in the United States, operating in dozens of states with a heavily marketed, high-volume plaintiff-side model. Relevant as a broad incumbent setting the competitive bar on marketing spend and scale in PI; competes with GLK for cases and referral partnerships in NY.

Regional players

• Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm: Long-standing New York personal injury and medical malpractice firm with a similar plaintiff-side practice footprint in the NYC metro. Comparable as a regional PI/med-mal peer, particularly overlapping on construction, premises, and medical negligence cases.
