- Gibson Tops Litigation Honors
As we work to finalize the Lawdragon 500, the most elite distinction for individual lawyers (in our humble opinion), our editorial staff is interested in reading about other recognitions given in the legal industry. A major award has gone to Gibson Dunn & Crutcher as American Lawyer magazine’s “Litigation Department of the Year.” The firm’s litigation group won major victories for Dole Food Co., Wal-Mart and UPS, among many others, according to David Bario’s story explaining the selection. Wal-Mart executive vice president and former general counsel Thomas Mars says of Gibson Dunn, "We have never had a firm handle more high-profile, high-risk work and deliver such consistent, excellent results.” The firm has many star litigators in the Lawdragon 500 guides, perhaps the most famous being Ted Olson, a regular before the Supreme Court.
The finalists for the top prize were Kirkland & Ellis; O'Melveny & Myers; Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison; Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges; Weil, Gotshal & Manges.
