Overview

Greg Gutzler is the lawyer you call in the most high-conflict cases. He is relentless and one of the few lawyers with a track record of recovering billions of dollars for his clients. Greg is a trusted resource for taking on Wall Street giants, holding global corporations accountable for their misconduct, and battling billion-dollar defendants on behalf of survivors of sexual abuse. Whether securing a record-breaking $1 billion verdict or leading landmark human rights lawsuits, Greg brings an aggressive and strategic approach to every case. With experience on both sides of the courtroom, including leading his own boutique firm and serving as a partner at an Am Law 100 firm, he is the advocate for clients who, like him, refuse to back down.

Greg specializes in complex litigation, including complex commercial litigation, headline-making human rights and sexual abuse cases, securities actions, and whistleblower cases. Clients turn to him not just for his legal expertise but for his ability to manage high-intensity conflicts with confidence, precision, and compassion.

Greg has led more than a dozen major actions against global investment banks, securing over $4.5 billion for investors. He has taken on contentious commercial disputes, representing businesses, hedge funds, private equity firms, and individuals in contract, valuation, and ownership conflicts, including a patent infringement case against DuPont in which he secured a $1 billion jury verdict using innovative damages theories that set new precedents.

Greg is at the forefront of major human rights and sexual abuse cases. He serves as lead counsel in a civil suit against former fashion mogul Peter Nygard, involving the world’s largest-ever sex trafficking case, which spans six countries and fifty years of abuse. He also represents survivors of sexual assault and sexual abuse in the case against World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Vince and Linda McMahon, a prominent case against music and media giant Sean “Diddy” Combs, and the wide-ranging RICO and sex trafficking case against the NXIVM cult, among other high-profile sexual abuse cases.

Outside of his legal work, Greg lends his time and energy to causes that reflect his deep sense of justice and empathy. He volunteers with his rescue dog, Sugar, at a mental health and substance abuse treatment center, offering comfort and companionship to those in recovery. Additionally, he is actively involved with Justice for Our Daughters, a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for survivors of gender-based violence and ensuring their voices are heard.
