Ethan Kaminsky Associate

Ethan joined Gilbert in 2021.  He represents individuals, businesses, governmental entities, and court-appointed fiduciaries in complex litigation and restructuring matters, with a particular focus on antitrust, bankruptcy, and insurance recovery disputes. He plays a leading role in these high-stakes litigations, regularly managing complex matters, developing case strategy, and arguing dispositive motions that have produced favorable outcomes for clients.

Ethan has advised clients in several of the largest and most complex bankruptcy proceedings of the past decade. Drawing on his experience representing policyholders in complex insurance coverage disputes, he helps clients preserve and maximize insurance assets for the benefit of creditors. He also leverages his litigation experience to resolve adversary proceedings and other contested matters that can materially affect recoveries and case outcomes.

Prior to joining Gilbert, Ethan worked as a litigation associate in the New York office of a prominent law firm and received his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
