Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration issued the following press release:

Davis & Gilbert LLP, a long-established full service law firm in New York City that represents numerous restaurant and hospitality properties nationwide, has become the newest partner of Cornell University's Center for Hospitality Research. In conjunction with the new partnership, Gregg A. Gilman, a partner in and co-chair of the firm's Employment Practices Department, will become a member of the center's Advisory Board.

"Gregg Gilman will strengthen our board immensely," commented Professor David Sherwyn, academic director of the center. "Gregg, who is a graduate of Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, has been a notable panelist at all of the center's legal roundtables and is one of New York City's leading management side labor and employment law attorneys. We are fortunate to gain his expertise in research issues relating to employment law."

Companies in a wide variety of industries turn to Gregg Gilman for counseling in the full lineup of workplace-related matters, employment and restrictive covenant agreements, compensation arrangements, reduction in force programs, and wage/hour issues. They also rely on Gregg Gilman's winning track record as defense counsel in court and before administrative agencies against claims of unfair competition, wrongful termination, harassment, and discrimination. A frequent author and guest lecturer at the Hotel School, Gregg Gilman is the creator of "Respect in the Workplace," a preventative management seminar that addresses sexual harassment and workplace sensitivity.

Mr. Gilman's colleagues, Steven M. Manket, a graduate of Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations and partner in Davis & Gilbert's Corporate Department, and Robert A. Karin, a graduate of Cornell Law School and a partner in the firm's Real Estate Department, will also serve on the center's Advisory Board; Mr. Manket in 2009 and Mr. Karin in 2010.
