PRACTICE

Litigation Energy Environmental Litigation and Mass Tort Land Use and Development Oil and Gas Real Estate

BIOGRAPHY

Dione Garlick is of counsel in the Los Angeles office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.  She currently practices in the firm’s Litigation Department and in its Environmental Practice Group.  Ms. Garlick’s practice focuses on high-stakes litigation matters.  She represents multinational corporations across industries, including oil and gas, energy, real estate, food and agriculture, and finance.  She specializes in environmental and commercial real estate litigation.

Environmental Litigation: Ms. Garlick has extensive experience in both trial and appellate courts in high impact matters involving mass tort, regulatory enforcement, and cost recovery actions.  Her regulatory experience includes challenges to decisions of the Regional Water Board, California Air Resources Board, and other California and local entities.  She has experience in both defending and challenging projects under the California Environmental Quality Act.  She advises clients regarding a variety of laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act and California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard.  She has experience litigating writ of mandate actions to challenge agency decisions in counties throughout California, including Los Angeles, Ventura, Monterey, Napa, Sacramento, and Orange County.

Real Estate Litigation: Ms. Garlick also specializes in real estate disputes and litigation matters, representing developers, investment firms, and others in the real estate space.  Her work covers the various stages of commercial real estate litigation, from pre-litigation mediations to appeals.  She specializes in creative remedies to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients.

A sample of ongoing, non-confidential representations include:

  • Chevron:  Ms. Garlick currently represents Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in an action challenging a voter-approved initiative, Measure Z, which prohibits all drilling of oil and gas wells, well stimulation activity, and wastewater injection and impoundment.  On behalf of Chevron, along with local stakeholders, Ms. Garlick and the Gibson Dunn team brought a writ of mandate against the County of Monterey, challenging Measure Z’s enactment and alleging claims of legal preemption, unconstitutional takings, and violations of due process, among other issues.  After a four-day bench trial, the trial court invalidated two of the three provisions of the Measure on preemption grounds, leaving in place the only portion of the Measure that would have no impact on the current operations.  This matter is currently on appeal.
  • FivePoint: Ms. Garlick currently represents a FivePoint entity in ongoing litigation related to a real estate development in Orange County, California.  On behalf of FivePoint, she worked to file multiple complaints and writs of mandate to raise civil and administrative claims.  This litigation is pending in Sacramento Superior Court.

Ms. Garlick graduated from UCLA School of Law in 2013. While at UCLA, she was a member of the Moot Court Honors Program, earning the Outstanding Brief Writer award. She was also a writing advisor for first year law students. In 2010, she graduated magna cum laude from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Arts as a dual major in Statistics and Law & Constitutional Studies with a minor in Latin. Ms. Garlick is a member of the State Bar of California and is admitted to practice law before the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
