Professional Experience           

For the first seven years of his practice, Mr. Gilligan’s work involved essentially every area of law including all types of litigation, business representation of individuals, small companies, and large corporations in a variety of business matters, banking, leasing, insurance law issues, bankruptcy, and zoning. In 1978,
Mr. Gilligan was appointed one of the lead counsel in the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire litigation, which was the first mass disaster class action in the United States. As a result of spending over seven years on that case and other litigation matters, Mr. Gilligan’s practice of law centered on a litigation specialty. He has
practiced with the law firm of Keating Muething & Klekamp PLL since 1970, where he is now a senior partner and one of two general counsel for the law firm. In addition to practicing litigation before state and federal courts, he has also had extensive practice in arbitration and mediation.
