CaseyGerry Partner Gayle M. Blatt was featured on the cover of the Spring 2026 Best Lawyers Business Edition as part of its Women in the Law issue. The feature, “The Data Defender,” takes an in-depth look at Gayle’s 40-year career at CaseyGerry, her leadership in complex litigation, and her work on significant consumer class actions and data privacy matters.
The profile also explores the experiences and values that have shaped Gayle’s career, from her early years in personal injury law to becoming a leader in complex litigation and an advocate for consumers whose personal information and privacy may be at risk.
Four Decades of Impact in Complex Litigation
Throughout her career, Gayle has helped shape CaseyGerry’s Complex Litigation practice while taking on increasingly complex matters involving consumer protection, corporate conduct, and data privacy.
The Best Lawyers feature looks back at significant litigation throughout her career, including her work on the Volkswagen diesel emissions litigation, Wells Fargo Collateral Protection Insurance litigation, the Yahoo! data breach, and more recent privacy matters involving genetic and ancestry information.
As technology continues to evolve, Gayle also discusses the changing landscape of data privacy litigation and the emerging legal questions surrounding artificial intelligence, biometric information, and genetic data.
Leadership and the Next Generation of Women in Law
Beyond her litigation work, the feature highlights Gayle’s longstanding involvement in the legal community and her perspective on the role women continue to play in shaping the profession.
After four decades in law, Gayle reflects on the opportunities available to the next generation of women attorneys and the importance of building careers on their own terms. Her story reflects not only the evolution of her own practice, but the impact of sustained leadership, collaboration, and mentorship throughout the profession.
