Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has been representing clients in anti-trust matters for much of the last century. The Firm was founded in 1890, the same year that Con-gress passed the Sherman Act. Antitrust became a significant part of the Firm's practice more than fifty years ago and has re-mained an active practice area ever since. In 2006, Competition Law 360 ranked Gibson Dunn 4th among United States anti-trust/competition practices.
