Starr (mergers and acquisitions, real estate, securities and venture finance), Amos Gern (plaintiffs' personal injury, malpractice and product liability), Ronald L. Davison (business, estate and intellectual property litigation), and Nicholas Stevens (labor and employment, business and Internet litigation and ADR mediation) on their selection as 2006 New Jersey Super Lawyers.

The firm, which traces its origins to 1926, attributes its longevity and success to an emphasis on personal service and dedication to identifying and achieving  clients' immediate and long-term objectives. Starr Gern represents individuals, entrepreneurs, and publicly traded, closely held and non-profit businesses and organizations in enterprises that include biotechnology, Internet practices, manufacturing and distribution, telecommunications, transportation, banking, insurance, construction, real estate development, food products, computer and health care services. The firm prides itself on its ability to provide clients with practical, innovative, cost-effective solutions. With 18 lawyers, the firm is large enough to handle complex matters, but small enough to extend prompt,  personalized service and attention to all clients.

PRACTICE AREAS The firm provides legal expertise to business entities in mergers, acquisitions, regulatory compliance, real estate transactions and foreclosures, land use, bankruptcy, and intellectual property matters. Its attorneys are recognized as experts in state and federal court litigation, representing both individuals and business entities. Starr Gern has recovered millions of dollars for injured plaintiffs through an extensive personal injury practice, which includes medical malpractice, product liability, premises and motor vehicle accidents, as well as construction and worksite mishaps. The firm also represents clients in alternative dispute resolution matters. Its attorneys serve as court-appointed and counsel-selected mediators and arbitrators. It also has an active estate planning, administration and litigation practice.

The firm has achieved such significant and repeated successes for its clients over the years that attorneys and other professionals often consult the firm's lawyers for their complex litigation and business transaction expertise. Firm partners have served in the U.S. Attorney's Office, taught at Rutgers Law School, been certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey and by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as trial specialists, been designated as Qualified Mediators by the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts and served as mediators for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, worked with the Securities and Exchange Commission, clerked for Superior Court judges, and served in leadership positions with the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the New Jersey State Bar, and other professional organizations.
