Gibson Dunn Chair and Managing Partner Barbara Becker reflected on the firm’s continued growth in an interview with The American Lawyer [PDF]. The publication noted rising demand across practice areas, industry groups, and geographies.

“Last year we celebrated our 135th anniversary as a firm, and it took us 121 years to reach $1 billion in revenue,” Barbara said. “Then it took nine years to reach $2 billion, four years to reach $3 billion, and two years to reach $4 billion, so that momentum in and of itself is pretty awesome.”
