Areas of expertise include but are not limited to the following:
Personal Injury
The personal injury attorneys of Brick Gentry have established a strong record of representing our clients with regard to accident-based personal injury lawsuits. We represent client in settlement negotiation, trials and appellate litigation throughout Iowa in cases involving motor vehicle, premises liability, construction, mass transit, product liability, municipal liability, education, toxic torts, insurance coverage, senior care facilities and professional liability matters.
Discrimination and Harassment
We often represent our business clients who have been accused of harassment or discrimination in employment matters. We also represent individuals who have been harassed and discriminated against in the workplace. The fact that we have worked on both sides of these employment cases gives us a unique perspective in handling employment litigation as most employment lawyers only represent primarily employers or employees.
IP Litigation
We advise business owners and inventors on the entire life cycle of your IP assets, whether patents, trademarks or copyrights, and address the multitude of issues that arise in IP infringement or unfair competition cases. We understand the business side of the challenges and risks posed by potential and actual lawsuits, and have the skills and experience to realize the best possible outcome for your IP litigation matters. Again, we are accustomed to representing not only businesses but also individuals in IP related litigation.
Business Litigation
Companies often face complex disputes with other businesses, government entities, or groups of individuals, which require an understanding of both the business issue and the industry of the client. Our Business trial team routinely handles these complex disputes, representing leaders in diverse industry sectors in Iowa with their most important litigation matters.
Class Actions
Our trial team is well-versed in the area of class actions. Class actions are often extremely complex and involve many procedural hurdles. It is best to have a law firm with knowledge and experience when you are considering a class action case. Our trial team has achieved multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts for our clients in class action cases.
