Gail’s 20-year litigation practice, solidly grounded in personal injury, professional negligence and employment defense for the firm’s national, multi-line insurance clients, has expanded to include commercial and employment litigation for private business clients and governmental entities in state and federal courts. She negotiates or brings to trial cases of business gridlock, partnership splits, breach of contract, wrongful employment termination, discrimination and claims for unpaid compensation and benefits.

Gail’s litigation skills include an eye for negotiation leverage throughout the litigation process. She is a certified mediator and acts as a consultant to a national insurance client to review and troubleshoot complicated or high-risk litigation with the goal of managing risk and eliminating surprise. She puts a premium on humor, compassion and reality as tools in court, in mediation and in advising clients on difficult personnel issues to avoid litigation.

Gail says she is especially proud of Baylor Evnen’s support for the success of women partners and associates (more than a third of the firm’s partners are women) and its charitable support of Cedars, Lighthouse, and Fresh Start, Nebraska non-profits serving children, at-risk teens and women reentering the work force.
