Inside Gregory Dubinsky’s Legal War Room: Trials, Appeals, and Constitutional Battles
Gregory Dubinsky doesn’t just defy expectations – he rewrites them. With a rare resume that includes clerkships at all three levels of the federal judiciary, culminating with Justice Anthony Kennedy at the U.S. Supreme Court, Dubinsky has built a litigation practice as versatile as it is formidable.
At Holwell Shuster & Goldberg, Dubinsky's not confined to one courtroom or one style of advocacy. He thrives in both trial and appellate arenas. He seamlessly switches from cross-examinations to constitutional arguments, from complex commercial disputes to precedent-setting appeals.
“I knew I didn’t want to limit myself,” Dubinsky says. “Taking on a mix of roles – serving as plaintiff and defense counsel, litigating trial and appellate matters – has made me a better lawyer.”
His clients span industries and issues – from defending Visa in sprawling multidistrict class actions to representing the National Basketball Association in the first antitrust suit the league had faced in a decade to submitting multiple Supreme Court briefs on behalf of Members of Congress on hot-button statutory issues. Whether navigating high-stakes commercial litigation or shaping constitutional doctrine, Dubinsky brings strategic clarity and intellectual firepower to every matter.
Dubinsky’s versatility isn’t just tactical – it’s transformative. He has secured billion-dollar dismissals under the Video Privacy Protection Act, authored amicus briefs that have been cited by Supreme Court justices and state courts, and shaped doctrine across multiple areas of law.
One of Dubinsky’s great strengths lies in his ability to navigate the intricate details of complex legal issues while crafting clear, compelling arguments that resonate with judges and juries alike. He parses dense statutes and distills complicated disputes into straightforward narratives, making the law accessible and persuasive. He’s fueled by the work – and driven by something deeper. After securing a crucial appellate victory for a pro bono client, she told him: “This makes me feel like justice is alive.”
For Dubinsky, that’s the point. The law isn’t just a puzzle to be solved – it’s a force for real justice, in real lives.
“That’s our task as lawyers,” says Dubinsky. “To make justice alive for our clients.”
