What the Team is Known For

Gibson Dunn maintains its premier standing in the appellate arena, calling upon a formidable array of highly experienced and deeply respected litigators to offer a wealth of experience before the US Supreme Court and state and federal courts nationwide. The firm makes frequent appearances in high-value and far-reaching matters, with notable experience in constitutional law, legislative challenges and wider business disputes. Its impressive client base spans a range of leading multinationals, trade associations and financial institutions.

Work Highlights

  • Gibson Dunn represented Dewberry Capital before the US Supreme Court in a trademark dispute concerning the scope of profits recoverable under the Lanham Act. The Court unanimously vacated a Fourth Circuit–affirmed award requiring Dewberry to disgorge nearly $43 million in profits earned by non‑party corporate affiliates, holding that the statute permits recovery only of the defendant’s own profits.
