Pamela Gilbert on Four Decades of Consumer Advocacy

In this episode of Raising the Bar with RebuttalPR, host Ray DeLorenzi speaks with Pamela Gilbert, named partner at Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca and one of the most respected voices in consumer protection and antitrust law. Pamela reflects on her early days organizing political actions at Tufts, working for Ralph Nader, and earning a spot on President Obama’s transition team after leading the Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

Pamela shares insights from both inside and outside of government, breaking down how federal rulemaking really works and why change rarely happens overnight. She also discusses the unique model at Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca, which combines litigation and lobbying under one roof, and her leadership of COSAL, a national organization that advocates for strong antitrust enforcement.  

From testifying before Congress to building bipartisan coalitions to challenging corporate power through the courts, Pamela offers lessons from a career spent making government work for the public. Tune in for a candid, inspiring look at what it takes to move the needle on major policy issues—and why she believes access to justice is the most powerful tool we have.
