Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher opened its Dallas office in the early 1980s and was one of the first national law firms to establish a permanent presence in Texas. Today the Firm's Dallas office is home to almost forty attorneys practicing in a wide range of areas, including complex commercial litigation, mergers and acquisitions, antitrust, intellectual property, corporate securities, tax, restructuring, labor and employment, and ERISA. The Firm’s Dallas attorneys function as integral members of national practice groups in these and other areas, and have deep expertise in many industries and sectors, including energy, retail, restaurants, healthcare, transportation, industrial distribution, financial services, utilities, pharmaceuticals, insurance, construction, semiconductors, computers, software, media, telecommunications, and e-commerce.
We have one of the most sophisticated litigation practices in Texas. Our trial lawyers handle all aspects of civil litigation, including intellectual property, antitrust, securities, unfair competition and commercial cases. Our litigators have practical experience in and out of the courtroom, and one of our victories was recognized as a defense verdict of the year by the National Law Journal. Additionally, the office has appellate experience with lawyers who handle appeals in regional appellate courts including the Fifth Circuit and the Texas Supreme Court.
The corporate lawyers in Dallas handle important acquisitions and financings for some of the largest companies and private equity firms headquartered in Texas. They have substantial experience in public and private mergers, public offerings and private placements of securities, structured finance, acquisitions of businesses in bankruptcy, debt restructurings, joint ventures and intellectual property licensing. Our Corporate practice is complemented by Tax, Executive Compensation, Benefits, and Labor practice groups that are also located in the Dallas office.
