Litigation

BIOGRAPHY

Jessica Benvenisty is a senior associate in Gibson Dunn’s Litigation and Crisis Management Practice Groups.  She practices in the areas of high-stakes complex commercial litigation, intellectual property law, international arbitration, judgment enforcement, and appellate/constitutional law (including First Amendment litigation).

Ms. Benvenisty has represented a broad range of clients, both U.S.-based and foreign, in the real estate, entertainment, manufacturing, and media industries.  She has had numerous “first chair” roles in trials and arbitrations.  In 2018, she was part of the victorious Gibson Dunn team that represented CNN and Jim Acosta in connection with the White House’s revocation of Mr. Acosta’s press credentials.  In 2020 and 2021, Ms. Benvenisty played a critical part in a constitutional challenge brought by small-scale New York landlords to New York State’s COVID-19 eviction moratorium, in which the United States Supreme Court granted her clients an extraordinary emergency injunction pending appeal.

Ms. Benvenisty has worked with experts in economics, real estate valuation, statistics, and the environmental sciences.  She also provides broader strategic advice to corporate clients in crisis situations, including by working with in-house and outside public relations teams.

Other highlights of Ms. Benvenisty’s practice include:

  • Representing Nike, Inc. and Converse, Inc. in an anti-counterfeiting case pending against hundreds of defendants in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York;
  • Representing a private religious school defending against a defamation and employment discrimination action brought by a former teacher accused of improper conduct;
  • Representing a construction and engineering firm in mass toxic tort litigation;
  • Represented a consortium of plastics manufacturers, recyclers, and restaurants in their challenge to New York City’s ban on expanded polystyrene foodware (commonly known as Styrofoam® products);
  • Represented a U.A.E. based distributor in an arbitration against its American supplier, in which the distributor won a multimillion dollar award.

Ms. Benvenisty has been recognized as “One to Watch” in Commercial Litigation by The Best Lawyers in America®.

Ms. Benvenisty received her Juris Doctor in 2012 from Columbia Law School, where she was a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar and Submissions Editor of the Columbia Science and Technology Law Review.  Ms. Benvenisty also received her Bachelor of Arts in History from Columbia College in 2009.

Ms. Benvenisty is admitted to practice in the State of New York.
