Allyson Ho > Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP > Dallas, United States > Lawyer Profile

Widely acknowledged as a ‘go-to’ firm for appellate work, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP‘s formidably deep bench nationally is reflected by its consistent involvement in complex appeals across the US. A dominant player in cases involving government powers–an increasingly topical trend–the group also excels in business and international disputes. At the US Supreme Court level, Washington DC-based Helgi Walker recently scored a unanimous victory on behalf of the National Association of Broadcasters in a high-profile case concerning media ownership restrictions. Other key contacts in Washington DC include former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, Miguel Estrada, who has argued 24 cases before SCOTUS, and department co-chair Thomas Dupree. Allyson Ho, who has recently secured high-profile wins at the Fifth Circuit and Texas Supreme Court among others, and Julian Poon additionally co-chair the practice from Dallas and Los Angeles respectively. Also in Los Angeles, Theodore Boutrous is sought after for his premier record before federal and state appellate courts, including SCOTUS. The group was strengthened in 2022 through a trio of lateral hires: Lauren Goldman joined in New York from Mayer Brown, where she was co-head of the supreme court and appellate practice; Jonathan Bond rejoined the firm in Washington DC after serving as an Assistant to the Solicitor General; while Gregg Costa, formerly a judge for the Fifth Circuit, joined in Houston.
