Bush v. Gore. Perry v. Schwarzenegger. Many Americans may not be able to name more than a handful of top law firms, but these front-page cases resonate with all ends of the political spectrum. In both cases the victorious attorney was Gibson Supreme Court superstar Ted Olson. Olson is the most recognizable face of the most recognizable department within the firm, the hands down best appellate litigation team in the country, one that has argued more than one hundred cases before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Gibson’s elite litigation department has been consistently recognized as one of the best in the country from top to bottom. American Lawyer recognized Gibson as the “Top Litigation Department of the Year” in 2010. It has represented a litany of notable clients in newsworthy cases: Viacom in its billion dollar suit against Google and YouTube, NBC Universal against Conan O’Brien, and Intel against European Union antitrust allegations, and Wal-Mart against a landmark $11 billion employment discrimination class action.

To outsiders, Gibson Dunn has a reputation as a conservative law firm with ties to the Republican elites. This is almost entirely based on the reputations of star litigators Ted Olson, former Solicitor General for George W. Bush, and Eugene Scalia, son of Justice Antonin Scalia. However this view is very simplistic, and overlooks the fact that the firm is an assembly of over a thousand attorneys spread over more than a dozen separate offices. There is no one unifying culture that can be clearly defined.

The Republicans called in their calvary on this one. They are scared. But no doubt Gibson, Dunn will bail them out one way or another.
