Litigation Daily’s Litigator of the Week has recognized a Gibson Dunn team that secured a $46 million jury verdict in Texas state court for Gala Capital Partners, LLC and its principal, Anand Gala.

A Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher team led by partners Trey Cox, Andrew LeGrand and Betty Yang landed a $46 million verdict in Texas state court for Gala Capital Partners and its principal Anand Gala, an investor and restaurateur based in California, in a case involving a joint investment in the pizza buffet chain Cicis Pizza, with Gala’s cousin, Sunil Dharod, and related entities. After eight days of trial and about five hours of deliberations, Dallas County jurors last week sided with Gibson Dunn’s clients on claims including breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, while rejecting all the defendants’ counterclaims. The Gibson Dunn team included partner Brad Hubbard and associates Andrew Mitchell, Arjun Ogale, Alexa Acquista and Hunter Heck.
