Founding Attorney

Gilbert Schipani

Attorney Gil Schipani started his career in Boston banking in 2003 and has been a practicing attorney since 2009. He has been featured in CNBC, US News, Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Boston Business Journal, Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, and the Brockton Enterprise. He has also been named a Massachusetts Super Lawyer and one of Boston’s Best Lawyers in Boston Magazine.

A skilled litigator and negotiator, Schipani has been involved in real estate, business, and civil litigation throughout his career. He has excelled in handling matters involving breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, shareholder disputes, business torts, whistleblower claims, and the False Claims Act. He also has experience in intellectual property disputes, including trade secrets, non-competes, licensing agreements, and copyright issues.

Schipani has successfully represented plaintiffs in catastrophic personal injury cases, particularly in medical malpractice and wrongful death claims. He has represented thousands of buyers, sellers, realtors, lenders, and businesses in both residential and commercial real estate transactions, and has closed SBA and hard money loans. In addition, he advises businesses on entity selection, employment agreements, severance packages, and mergers and acquisitions. He has also represented municipalities and served as an assistant city solicitor in Brockton.

Recognizing the complexities and legal nuances across these areas, Schipani has built a team of highly skilled attorneys at Tempus Fugit Law with deep experience in real estate, business, employment, and personal injury law. While each practice area is distinct, they frequently intersect – often through complex contracts that require careful drafting, review, and negotiation, and sometimes, litigation. By assembling a team with specialized knowledge, Schipani ensures that clients receive focused legal expertise backed by comprehensive support across overlapping legal issues.

Schipani owns rental and commercial real estate throughout Massachusetts. Originally from Arlington, he grew up in Stow and now lives in Duxbury with his wife and children. He is a graduate of St. Sebastian’s School, Hamilton College, and Suffolk University Law School (night division). A lifelong athlete, Schipani played hockey throughout high school and college and still plays today. He also enjoys running, weightlifting, and spending time with his family.
