We are delighted to announce that Gabe Slater has joined Schiffer Hicks Johnson as an associate.

Gabe’s practice centers on complex commercial litigation. He has managed the day-to-day duties of a broad spectrum of cases, including consumer class actions, mass torts, merger litigation, and shareholder disputes. Gabe’s experience includes appearing at hearings in both state and federal court, leading oral argument on a motion to compel, and first-chairing numerous depositions. Additionally, he has coordinated with expert witnesses, conducted discovery, and participated in nine-figure mediations.

Before joining the firm, Gabriel was an associate in Latham & Watkins’ Chicago office. He obtained a J.D. with honors from The University of Chicago Law School and a B.A. from the University of Michigan.

“SHJ has built a strong reputation as a go-to firm for lawyers looking to hit the ground running,” Gabe said. “I’m excited to hone my litigation skills while growing my practice and clientele.”
