George Shipley

Practice Areas

In his more than 35 years as a trial lawyer, George Shipley has become a trusted ally to businesses and individuals both in the U.S. and abroad. His record of successful trials and appeals cuts across numerous industries and types of cases. Mr. Shipley co-founded Shipley Snell Montgomery with the aim of creating a firm that would offer clients all of the advantages that years of big-firm experience can provide but in an alternative format, with the kind of efficiency and tailored service that many clients – including Fortune 500 companies – now seek. The common threads of Mr. Shipley’s practice are exemplary results, the lasting relationships he builds with his clients, and the respect of his adversaries.

George Shipley has handled cases and argued appeals before state and federal courts, including courts in Texas, New York, California, New Jersey, Alabama, Virginia, Louisiana, Utah, Oklahoma, Missouri, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. He has also represented clients in ad hoc arbitrations and before numerous domestic and international arbitration tribunals including the ICC, ICDR, AAA, NASD (now FINRA), CPR, and JAMS.
