Washington, D.C. · Boutique Litigation
Gerstein Harrow is a boutique litigation firm in Washington, D.C. We handle high-stakes, first-impression cases — the kind where the answer isn’t in a casebook yet. We specialize in plaintiff-side crypto cases, civil rights, and complex issues and appeals.
We were among the first lawyers in the country to figure out how to hold crypto insiders accountable to their users. We’ve sued Compound, PoolTogether, Ooki, and others — developing legal theories that have gotten real traction in courts.
We represent people whose civil rights have been violated. We have particular depth in cases involving public defenders whose independence has been threatened, and cases where corporations or the government are using legal process to punish speech.
We love hard questions. We brief and argue complex cases from district courts through the U.S. Supreme Court, covering labor, employment, consumer protection, constitutional, and election law — often on issues where there isn’t a clear answer yet.
