Conclusion
Robyn Gigl has been handling complex litigation including employment law, commercial and business litigation and white-collar criminal defense for more than 35 years representing clients in state and federal courts in New Jersey. Robyn, who is the Chair of the New Jersey State Bar Association's LGBT Rights Section and on the Board of Directors of Garden State Equality and the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, also has an expertise on LGBT issues in the workplace.
As a transgender woman, Gigl had the unique experience of being the managing partner of her law firm while transitioning from male to female. As managing partner, she successfully led her firm through the complex cultural and practical issues that face corporate policy makers, managers and co-workers when an employee goes through the gender affirmation process.
Gigl is the author of multiple articles on transgender issues for the New Jersey State Bar Association and a chapter in BNA's leading treatise on the subject. She speaks frequently on transgender issues to bar groups and the judiciary, law schools, corporate groups and financial institutions.
