Malcolm Gross, Gross McGinley
Gross has dedicated his life to the profession, building a successful career as a tough litigator and a reputation for being a pioneer in his field. Over his lifetime, Gross has become a well-respected and admired member of the legal community. His commitment to service and pioneering spirit has resulted in an inspiring legal career spanning over five decades.
Over the years, Gross started taking on more and more cases involving the rights of the media and his First Amendment practice expanded. In the '80s and '90s, Pennsylvania adopted “Reporter's Privilege” in addition to its “Shield Law,” grounded in the First Amendment. Newspapers, reporters and other media outlets were fighting to gain access to information and Gross represented them in matters pertaining to defamation, subpoenas, freedom of information issues and more. Under the current administration, the rights of the press have come into question, with several major news outlets under political fire. This is nothing new in our nation's history and Gross was at the forefront of significant cases in Pennsylvania involving the rights of the press.
