Gary Rubin

Schiff Hardin LLP

Gary L. Rubin is a seasoned construction law attorney who has practiced in New York City since 1976. He is a polished writer, a thoughtful strategist and a forceful advocate who helps owners and contractors with a variety of construction law needs.

His experience in litigation and alternative dispute resolution has cemented his reputation as a leader and innovator who understands the complex landscape of construction law.

Gary works vigorously and efficiently to resolve existing disputes and to position clients effectively through strong and capable contract drafting. He is steeped in the fine points of New York construction law and enjoys rolling up his sleeves to address clients’ problems.

Gary’s experience runs the gamut from state and federal litigation to sophisticated mediation and arbitration proceedings, project controls and transactional work. He prides himself on “under the radar” planning and strategy, which benefit his clients while Gary advises quietly behind the scenes.
