Betty Yang is a partner in the Dallas office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and a co-chair of the firm’s global Trial Practice Group. Betty represents clients in jury trials, bench trials, and arbitrations across the country in a variety of disciplines, including antitrust, life sciences, intellectual property, and oil & gas.
Betty’s extensive experience as a trial lawyer includes some of the most significant trials of the last 20 years. In a case described in the press as “the Super Bowl of Antitrust,” Betty defended Apple against unprecedented antitrust claims brought by Epic Games Inc. After a three-week bench trial, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled in favor of Apple on all of the antitrust claims. Less than a year later, Betty served as trial counsel for a leading insurance company in the highly publicized month-long trial relating to confirmation of the bankruptcy plan filed by the insured, Boy Scouts of America. Earlier in her career, Betty was trial counsel for BP America Production Co. in the multidistrict litigation relating to the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon and was the youngest attorney to take depositions, including one notable deposition that received national press coverage and led to the imposition of sanctions against one of the parties.
For these and other trial achievements, Betty was recognized as one of Business Insider’s 2022 “Rising Stars of the Courtroom” and one of Texas Lawyer’s 2022 attorneys “On the Rise.”
