About Gordon L. Mowen, II

Gordon advises corporate clients on a wide array of legal issues and currently serves as general counsel to several national and regional companies in the residential services, consumer services, and manufacturing industries.  Gordon focuses on commercial disputes, litigation avoidance practices, regulatory compliance, and employment practices, and he has been consistently recognized for his work in business and corporate law.

As general counsel, Gordon’s thought partnership with company leadership drives high-ROI initiatives that reduce risk, increase EBITDA, and improve claims outcomes.  As one illustrative example, in 2025, Gordon launched a compliance initiative for a fleet-based home improvement company that resulted in over $3.3mm in annualized savings and was featured at Samsara’s national safety and compliance convention.  He is frequently brought in by clients to review and assess efficacy of safety, compliance, and insurance programs.

Gordon’s practice takes him coast to coast and everywhere in between.  Whether prevailing at oral argument on the west coast in a high-stakes appeal, parachuting into a contentious business dispute on the east coast, or litigating an employment action in the heartland of the U.S., Gordon has built his practice around obtaining successful results for his clients.  His representative experience includes:

• Obtained full dismissal of federal consumer class action against corporate client over alleged deceptive sales practices.
• Obtained dismissal on behalf of manufacturer over claims of defective safety devices.
• Obtained summary judgment on behalf of corporate client on governmental claims of public nuisance.
• Created and implemented compliance-focused safety initiative for corporate client that resulted in 89% reduction in fleet accident risk.
• Obtained multiple “no probable cause” findings by the EEOC and state administrative bodies on behalf of employers involving claims of employment discrimination.
• Prevailed at trial—full defense verdict—in consumer-based action against contractor over claims of deficient work and deceptive sales terms, and prevailed on appeal.
• Successfully defended multiple license holders in governmental action involving claims of unpermitted work and unlawful construction.
