Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher opened its Dallas office in the early 1980s and was one of the first national law firms to establish a permanent presence in Texas.  The Firm's Dallas office today is home to some of the most talented lawyers in the Southwest practicing in a wide range of areas, including complex commercial litigation, mergers and acquisitions, antitrust, intellectual property, corporate securities, tax, real estate, restructuring, labor and employment, and ERISA.  In each of these and other areas of practice, the Firm's Dallas-based lawyers function as integral members of various national practice groups, several of which are co-chaired by Dallas partners.  Lawyers in the Firm's Dallas office have deep expertise in many industries and sectors, including energy, retail, healthcare, transportation, financial services, utilities, pharmaceuticals, insurance, construction, semiconductors, computers, software, media, telecommunications, and e-commerce.

We have one of the most sophisticated litigation practices in Texas. Our trial lawyers handle all aspects of civil litigation, including intellectual property, antitrust, securities, unfair competition and commercial cases. Our litigators have practical experience in and out of the courtroom, and one of our victories was recognized as a defense verdict of the year by the National Law Journal. Additionally, the office has appellate experience with lawyers who handle appeals in regional appellate courts including the Fifth Circuit and the Texas Supreme Court. 

The corporate lawyers in Dallas handle important acquisitions and financings for some of the largest companies headquartered in Texas. They have substantial experience in public and private mergers, public offerings and private placements of securities, structured finance, acquisitions of businesses in bankruptcy, debt restructurings, joint ventures, real estate transactions and intellectual property licensing. Our Corporate practice is complemented by Tax, Real Estate, Executive Compensation, Benefits, and Labor practice groups that are also located in the Dallas office.
