About Tracy L. Gerber

Tracy L. Gerber is Co-Managing Shareholder of Greenberg Traurig’s West Palm Beach office, Co-Chair of the firm’s Broker-Dealer Securities Litigation Practice, and a member of the Executive Committee of the firm’s Global Litigation Practice. A trusted advisor to leading financial institutions, public and private companies, and private equity firms, Tracy is the lawyer clients turn to when facing their most complex and high-stakes employment problems; disputes where legal, regulatory, and reputational risks often converge.

Tracy has tried more than 100 arbitrations to final award in FINRA, JAMS, and AAA, with many involving testimony from senior executives. She brings a unique ability to manage these sensitive matters with precision, understanding the business pressures executives face, their limited availability, and the need for focused, efficient preparation. Tracy has also jointly represented companies and their top leadership in employment disputes that demand discretion and strategic coordination.

Tracy regularly defends against claims alleging wrongful termination, whistleblower retaliation under SOX and state whistleblower protection statutes, U5 defamation, discrimination, sexual harassment, hostile work environment and wrongful termination arising from internal investigations and regulatory inquiries. Tracy has substantial cross-over experience in the regulatory and sales practice arena, having handled numerous SEC, FINRA, and state regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings, as well as customer arbitrations. She is particularly skilled in navigating matters involving complex privilege waiver considerations, where terminations arise from internal investigations and companies must weigh whether (and how broadly) to waive privilege in order to defend themselves.

Tracy also has wide-ranging experience with court actions related to the enforcement of arbitration agreements (including cases involving the EFAA) and challenges to arbitral awards, seeking to give clients a strategic edge in protecting arbitration rights and outcomes. Known for her ability to manage parallel proceedings (employment, regulatory, and customer matters) Tracy ensures strategies are aligned and risk-sensitive. She also advises clients proactively through pre-dispute mediation and agency charges before the EEOC, OSHA, and similar bodies.

Tracy developed Greenberg Traurig’s national arbitrator database, consulted on arbitrator selection for more than 1,000 panels, and previously served as a FINRA arbitrator. A sought-after speaker and faculty member at the Securities Industry Institute at the Wharton School, Tracy is widely regarded as a thought leader in securities arbitration and employment litigation.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
