Biography
Jamison Gilmore represents clients in complex commercial disputes from pre-litigation through trial and arbitration. He is experienced in handling matters involving trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, copyright infringement, and unfair business practices (section 17200). Jamison represents both plaintiffs and defendants in a variety of industries, including media and entertainment, technology, healthcare, energy, and construction industries in arbitration and litigation. He handles all aspects of disputes, including the preparation of pleadings, propounding of and responding to discovery, drafting of dispositive motions, taking and defending depositions, and preparing for and attending trial and arbitration.
Before Blank Rome, Jamison externed for U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Wilner (ret.) and clerked for Los Angeles Superior Court Judges Christopher Lui, Theresa Traber, and Daniel Crowley.
Dispositive Motion Practice
Jamison regularly obtains favorable results through a robust dispositive motion practice. He prepared over 3,000 tentative orders while clerking at Los Angeles Superior Court—none of which were reversed on appeal. Using this unique experience in practice, Jamison has consistently and successfully prepared and defended against motions to dismiss, demurrers, motions to strike, motions to quash service of summons, anti-strategic lawsuits against public participation (“SLAPP”) motions, and motions for summary judgment and summary adjudication.
Trial and Arbitration
Jamison has prevailed at each trial and arbitration he has handled. As a result of trial and arbitration, Jamison has secured permanent injunctions, judgments affirming trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract awards, and a six-figure award of attorney fees. Jamison’s results demonstrate his aptitude in handling tasks that arise in trial and arbitration, including preparing motions in limine, deposition designations and objections, demonstratives, witnesses, and pre- and post- trial and arbitration briefs.
