About

Selendy Gay’s lawyers are trial and appellate generalists, able to take on litigation matters across an array of industries and subject areas, including bankruptcy, complex commercial litigation, securities and structured finance, corporate defense and investigations, corporate governance, and many others.

Since the firm was founded in 2018, it has maintained its focus on inclusivity and diversity. More than fifty percent of Selendy Gay’s equity is held by female partners, and more than twenty percent of the firm’s attorneys identify as LGBTQ+.

A hallmark of the firm is its even split between plaintiff and defense side work, which allows Selendy Gay to deploy winning strategies on both sides of the “v.” As plaintiffs’ counsel, the firm has pioneered claims, and even practice areas, that have recovered more than $46 billion for clients while holding institutional giants accountable. As defense counsel, the firm has won bet-the-company cases that threatened the existence of its clients’ businesses and business models, vindicated individuals in aggressive white-collar prosecutions, and counseled clients successfully in fast-moving investigations.

Central to the firm's success is its willingness to take cases to trial, when necessary. Its attorneys have tried dozens of cases to verdict in state and federal courts across the nation and arbitrated many cases through to award, often stepping in to handle distressed cases at trial or on appeal. The firm's experience brings its clients better courtroom results and better settlements because its adversaries have no doubt of the courtroom threat the firm poses.

Selendy Gay is known for its dedication to the public good. The firm’s public interest and pro bono litigation victories are as significant as those on the commercial side, and they stem from the firm’s foundational commitment to holding public interest work as equally important to commercial cases. The firm’s attorneys average 151 pro bono hours annually, compared to the industry average of 54.
