Areas Of Practice

  • Financial Restructuring and Chapter 11
  • Commercial Litigation
  • Commercial Transactions
  • Business Formation and Governance

Gabe’s practice focuses on bankruptcy law, company reorganizations, and commercial litigation. His interest in the law began in earnest while he worked simultaneously as a marketing manager for his parents’ bankruptcy firm and a property researcher for his father’s real estate business during his undergraduate mathematics studies. There, he gained a deep appreciation for the endless challenges that confront business owners and developed a business-practical approach to legal problems. While in law school, he clerked for a bankruptcy firm in Northern Kentucky and Lexington, and a Lexington-based litigation firm. He joined KJAB as a clerk in Fall of 2023, and as an associate upon obtaining his license to practice in October 2024.
