Gilbert S. Keteltas is a nationally recognized trial and government enforcement lawyer who represents corporations in high‑stakes litigation, regulatory investigations and coordinated multi‑party disputes. Clients turn to Gil when the stakes are existential — where litigation strategy, regulatory positioning and trial advocacy must align to protect the business, not just win a motion.
With more than 35 years of experience, Gil has tried jury and bench cases across the country and has led defenses involving government and private plaintiffs, multijurisdictional proceedings and industry‑wide enforcement actions. His practice spans complex commercial litigation, tort and environmental disputes, class actions, and technology‑driven matters, including data breach, privacy and emerging‑technology risk.
Gil is known for bringing a practical, strategic lens to complex litigation. He is frequently engaged before litigation is filed to assess enforcement exposure, shape regulatory responses and develop defensible strategies that reduce risk and preserve leverage. When cases proceed, he integrates sophisticated discovery strategy into trial preparation, helping clients manage cost, burden and uncertainty in matters where data volume and technology drive outcomes.
