About Gordon L. Mowen, II

Gordon advises corporate clients on a wide array of legal issues and currently serves as General Counsel to regional and national corporate clients in the residential services, consumer services, and heavy manufacturing industries.  He focuses on employment practices and commercial disputes, and has been recognized as a “Best Lawyer” (Insurance Law, Product Liability Litigation, and Appellate Practice) and “Rising Star Super Lawyer” in the area of Business and Corporate law.

From pre-suit investigations through trial, Gordon has years of experience defending corporate clients—ranging from employment issues, 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 the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and state appellate courts across the nation.
