Gabriel Reilly-Bates focuses on complex civil litigation and represents clients in a wide variety of commercial litigation matters, including breach of contract, conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, trademark, administrative review, consumer protection, ERISA, Fair Labor Standards Act, and probate. Gabe also has handled bankruptcy litigation and represented trustees and creditors in various matters, including exemptions, preferential and fraudulent transfers, objections to discharge and the dischargeability of debt, equitable and conventional subrogation, and the assumption and rejection of leases.
Gabe’s pro bono work includes working with Northwestern University School of Law’s Bluhm Legal Clinic on the preparation of a death-row inmate’s post-conviction petition.
