Anchored in the heart of Louisville’s business district, FBT Gibbons’ Louisville office is home to some of the region’s best-known and most accomplished practitioners. We represent fixtures of the regional economy and companies also actively supporting the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, focusing particularly on the financial services, logistics, energy, health care, franchise and hospitality industries.

 

 

Strengths

Our attorneys’ experience and subject knowledge extends the full range of practice areas, with a particular strength in state and local tax, government services, commercial real estate, finance, labor and employment, business litigation, and complex insurance defense matters. We pride ourselves on being both deal and difference makers. In the last decade alone, our team has had a hand in nearly every major economic development project or legislative action in our region, from the financing and construction of the Ohio River Bridges to the passage of one of the nation’s first industrial hemp bills.

 

Culture

A spirit of tenacious entrepreneurship predominates across the Louisville office, inspired in no small part by Chairman Emeritus Ed Glasscock who, in his 23-year tenure as managing partner, helped nurture FBT Gibbons into one of the largest and most reputable law firms in the Blue Grass State. Our Louisville team adamantly supports the firm’s enduring commitment to diversity and inclusion, while also encouraging collegiality through social events like the Metro United Way Great Chili Cook Off, the summer office picnic, or through fundraisers and donation drives that are organized and led by employees at all levels.

 

The Louisville office’s roots can be traced back nearly a half century to our legacy firm, Brown, Todd & Heyburn PLLC, which merged with the prominent Cincinnati firm Frost & Jacobs in 2000 – an alliance that further solidified our position as a go-to firm for businesses headquartered or operating in the Midwest. Led by Partner-in-Charge Jennifer Barber, the office is now home to more 150 attorneys, many of whom serve on the firm’s senior leadership committees.

 

Community

One unifying thread of the Louisville team is a deep-seated sense of civic responsibility, evident in the growing number of attorneys who have recently answered the call to public service or joined our Louisville team after serving in state and local government. Our attorneys also serve on the boards of some of the region’s most impactful nonprofits, including Louisville Urban League, Greater Louisville Inc., the Leadership Louisville Foundation, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Fund for the Arts, and Metro United Way. In addition, we are active members in numerous professional organizations, including the Kentucky Bar Association, Louisville Bar Association, and the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity.
