PRACTICE

Litigation Crisis Management Transnational Litigation White Collar Defense and Investigations

BIOGRAPHY

Steve Henrick is an associate in the San Francisco office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher with substantial trial and investigative experience in a variety of high-stakes litigation and white collar criminal matters.

Representative engagements include:

  • Serving as counsel of record for Chevron Corporation in its successful defense against the attempted confirmation of an $18 billion sham Egyptian arbitration award.  Al-Qarqani v. Chevron Corp., No. C 18-03297 JSW, 2019 WL 4729467 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 24, 2019), aff’d, 8 F.4th 1018 (9th Cir. 2021), cert denied, 142 S. Ct. 2835 (2022);
  • Winning a sweeping victory for Chevron Corporation following a two-month RICO and fraud trial. Chevron successfully sued American lawyer Steven Donziger and others who masterminded an extortion scheme against the company that included fraudulently procuring a $9.2 billion Ecuadorian judgment.  Chevron Corp. v. Donziger, 974 F. Supp. 2d 362 (S.D.N.Y. 2014), aff’d, 833 F.3d 74 (2d Cir. 2016), cert denied, 137 S. Ct. 2268 (2017). Henrick and the Gibson Dunn team subsequently secured a finding of contempt against Donziger in post-judgment enforcement proceedings, Chevron Corp. v. Donziger, 384 F. Supp. 3d 465 (S.D.N.Y. 2019), which the Second Circuit affirmed on all but one issue, 990 F.3d 191 (2d Cir. 2021);
  • Leading internal investigations, including conducting witness interviews and supervising numerous document collections and productions, as part of responding to whistleblower complaints and/or demands from federal, state, and local authorities; and
  • Successfully defending a manufacturer of body-worn video cameras from unfair competition and false advertising litigation brought by a competitor in California state court.

Mr. Henrick rejoined Gibson Dunn in 2016 after serving as a law clerk to the Honorable Michael M. Baylson of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  Prior to clerking, Mr. Henrick was an associate in the firm’s New York office.

Mr. Henrick graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and summa cum laude from Boston University.  At Harvard, he was a six-time recipient of the Dean’s Scholar Prize and an editor for the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review.  During the summer of 2010, he interned with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York in the Violent Crime and Terrorism Section.

Mr. Henrick is admitted to practice in California and New York as well as before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the United States District Courts for the Northern, Eastern, and Central Districts of California.
