About Gordon L. Mowen, II

Gordon advises corporate clients on a wide array of legal issues and currently serves as General Counsel to multiple regional and national corporate clients in the manufacturing, energy, and residential services industries. He has been recognized as a Rising Star Super Lawyer in the area of Business and Corporate law—an award given out to less than 2.5% of attorneys. As one client has commended, “What I appreciate most about working with Gordon is his strategic thinking and ability to anticipate any potential roadblocks or issues that can arise.”

Gordon is also an experienced litigator and has seen multiple cases to verdict. From pre-suit investigations, discovery, pretrial proceedings, dispositive motions, and trial, Gordon has years of experience defending corporate clients against hundreds of claims—ranging from employment issues, premises and injury claims, contract disputes, and products cases—in both State and Federal court, and various administrative bodies. He has built his practice around obtaining successful results for his clients.

In addition, Gordon is an accomplished appellate advocate and has practiced before many appellate bodies, including the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and state appellate courts across the nation. In 2018, Gordon co-authored an amicus brief on behalf of a 28-State coalition in two cases in which the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a publicly-maintained World War I memorial.

Gordon also serves as counsel to the West Virginia Senate (Judiciary Committee) and in a volunteer board position with the Putnam County day report program.

A graduate with honors of the University of Kentucky College of Law, Gordon served as the Articles Editor on the Kentucky Law Review, and his note was published in the 101st Volume.
