Firm History​

For over 45 years, Gwilliam Ivary Chiosso Cavalli & Brewer has been one of the most successful and respected Personal Injury, Employment and Civil Litigation law firms in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area.


The firm was founded in Oakland by attorneys J. Gary Gwilliam and Eric Ivary in 1078. Jim Chiosso joined the firm in 1979 and was followed soon after by Steve Cavalli. In 1986, Steven Brewer joined the firm. In 1991, the firm’s name changed to include each of its partners. Since that time, we have gone on to establish a superior track record for winning cases, and for results that have an impact ranging far beyond the compensation achieved for our clients.
