The American Lawyer has profiled Gibson Dunn’s Litigation Practice Group, which the publication noted was involved “in some of the most consequential legal battles of the year.” It was recently a finalist for the Litigation Department of the Year at the American Lawyer Industry Awards.
The profile noted the Firm’s track record winning recent cases before the United States Supreme Court, including Grants Pass v. Johnson, a landmark case that redefines how cities can enforce laws against homeless encampments. The Firm also successfully defended Slack in a case where the tech company was sued over an allegedly “materially misleading” registration statement.
The American Lawyer noted that Gibson Dunn has become “Big Tech’s Go To Firm” after winning several recent high-profile cases for clients including Coinbase, OpenAI and Uber.
The success of the Litigation Practice Group created a pipeline of talented young lawyers coming to the Firm. For the third year in a row, the Firm attracted six former Supreme Court clerks among our incoming class.
The publication also highlighted Gibson Dunn’s active pro bono practice. In 2024, the Firm totaled 206,000 pro bono hours, or more than 96 hours per attorney.
