I have worked with Gerry Schwartz for over 40 years and highly recommend him for his expertise, in-depth industry knowledge and problem solving ability in the advertising, copyright, intellectual property, contract and agency client relationship areas. His responses are always prompt and well thought out. He is available 24/7 to address all legal matters.

Gregg A. Gilman

Gregg Gilman is a star. He is helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and everything I could want in an employment attorney. I would include my name and company name, but my company's policy prohibits it.

Ronald R. Urbach

There is no one in the Advertising Law practice as skilled, as knowledgeable, nor as great to work with as Ron. I can't imagine our agency functioning without him.

Jerry Barnhart
Goodby Silverstein & Partners

Ron is one of the leading experts in this area and always provides insightful and practical guidance. He is a pleasure to work with!

Mark Seidenfeld
Scholastic

Ron is one of the top advisors in the Advertising Agency space. We look to him for both creative clearance matters as well as contract law matters between us, clients, and suppliers. He approaches issues from both a legal perspective and a business relationship perspective. He understands our business and filters his commentary in that context.

Jerry Barnhart
Goodby Silverstein & Partners

It's easy for an advertising lawyer to point out all the obstacles that a client would encounter as they try to achieve a particular objective. It's much harder for that lawyer to find creative ways to help his clients actually maneuver safely around those obstacles and achieve the objective. Ron Urbach is the master of the latter approach, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Harold Sogard
Goodby Silverstein & Partners

Ron is probably the best attorney in the field today. His advice and counsel is invaluable and he is well respected and known by all of our clients. He is very helpful in dealing with complex issues and has a very practical business approach to solving problems.
