About Me

E. Barney Gesas

Extensive experience in complex business and commercial disputes and litigation

My firm, Gesas Law, offers proven advocacy in business litigation. The experience I've gained in more than 45 years of practice enables me to analyze your conflict and pursue your goals in a strategic and cost-efficient manner. I have prevailed in complex litigation for business clients across Utah and the western United States.

Often business disputes leading to litigation are expensive distractions from your individual or company's goals and success. Faced we these challenges, you need swift and informed, knowledgeable analysis and an agreed upon action plan. I work on a retainer, or a fixed hourly rate or a blended fee plan. Where indicated, I provide flexible payment options tailored to the problem.

Where required and with client approval, I affiliate Salt Lake City litigation boutique firms that do have conflicts of interests.

I welcome inquiries from small business owners, individuals, business executives or in-house counsel in Utah and surrounding states. Contact my Salt Lake City Office at (801) 994-6820 or online.
