Litigator of the Week Runners-Up and Shout-Outs
Accolades | May 15, 2026
A Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher team led by Bradley Hubbard, Trey Cox and Gregg Costa is representing Energy Transfer as the company seeks to protect the $666 million verdict it won at trial last year against Greenpeace defendants, including more than $130 million against Greenpeace International. Last week, the North Dakota Supreme Court granted the company’s petition to review the trial court’s decision denying an antisuit injunction against Greenpeace International seeking to halt claims brought by the non-profit in the Netherlands. The state’s high court remanded the case with directions for the trial court to enter a “narrowly tailored” injunction barring claims aimed at erasing any final award of damages in the North Dakota suit. “The district court has the duty and the authority to protect the integrity of its own proceedings,” wrote Justice Jerod Tufte for the court’s majority. Hubbard argued the petition for Energy Transfer. The company’s team includes Gibson Dunn partner Collin Cox and associate Jaime Barrios, as well as North Dakota counsel Spencer Ptacek and Lawrence Bender of Fredrikson & Byron.
