She represents clients in complex commercial lawsuits and disputes, consumer protection actions, and government enforcement matters. She works with the firm’s White Collar Defense and Commercial Litigation groups on cases across diverse industries. Her practice includes state and federal court representation and strategic advice concerning disputes that may affect business operations, legal obligations, and the client’s broader objectives.

Gina earned a J.D., cum laude, from Boston College Law School and a B.A. from the University of Vermont. She subsequently clerked at the Massachusetts Superior Court from 2016 through 2017. Academic preparation and judicial work provide complementary experience in legal analysis.

Her present work includes commercial matters and government enforcement issues, with listed areas extending to health care litigation, False Claims Act matters, and trade secrets. These disputes can involve extensive records and multiple legal theories. Preparation helps distinguish central issues from surrounding detail and supports informed decisions about case strategy.

Gina Puls serves on the board of the Humane Society of Chittenden County and is the current president of the Chittenden County Bar Association. She is admitted in Massachusetts and Vermont and before additional federal courts. Her practice emphasizes practical solutions and advocacy in complex disputes. Clients facing litigation need to understand their legal position and the consequences of available choices, making clear analysis and a focused strategy important throughout the course of the matter.
