Barry J. Glickman is a litigation partner concentrating in banking, creditor's rights and other commercial disputes. In addition, he oversees the Firm's insurance defense and legal process compliance practice. Barry is an accomplished trial attorney with extensive experience in a wide array of civil litigation matters.

While attending Lehigh University, where he was an accounting major, Barry spent much of his time behind the lens or locked in a darkroom laying the foundation for a career in photography, serving as editor of each of the institution's major publications and frequently exhibiting his works. Eschewing a creative career, Barry went to work for an internationally recognized spice and seasonings company as a financial analyst. Law school followed shortly thereafter.

Before his affiliation with ZEK, Barry honed his skills as a litigator with two of New York's more well respected trial firms. Since joining ZEK in 1990, Barry has litigated a wide variety of unusual cases, many of which have resulted in favorable verdicts or published decisions.

For example, in Hann Financial Services Corporation et al. v. Republic Auto Credit Group, LLC, after securing summary judgment dismissing the claims to dozens of automobiles by an assignee of a leasing company, Barry obtained a verdict on the counterclaims of a floor plan lender based on hotly contested interpretations of Articles 2 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and two states' inconsistent internal laws. Both the summary judgment decision and the trial award were affirmed by the Appellate Division, Second Department. In Welbilt Electric Corporation v. Fireman, et al., following a protracted and often contentious trial, Barry obtained a verdict in favor of a construction company against a hugely successful restaurateur who disputed any indebtedness in connection with the construction project. Before the case could be tried, Barry made a successful motion for summary judgment dismissing counterclaims involving arcane New York lien law provisions. This resulted in multiple appeals before the Appellate Division, First Department, all of which affirmed the dismissal. In Bari v. Citibank, N.A., et al., Barry defeated plaintiff's claims for extravagant disability benefits and counsel fees brought under federal ERISA provisions. The dismissal of plaintiff's complaint was affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Through the years, Barry has also locked horns with and, ultimately, defeated: one of the most litigious pro-se litigants in recent memory; a disgruntled attorney-credit card holder seeking damages for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and punitive damages; and a "Goliath" insurer who sought sanctions against a "David" insured.

When he is not behind his desk, in front of the bench or bleeding Giants blue in East Rutherford, New Jersey on alternate Sundays in the fall, Barry can be found on skis, on skates, on the golf course or on the sidelines, cheering on his daughters' sports teams. A long suffering sports fan, Barry is a firm believer that hope springs eternal for his beloved Mets.
