Thomas G. Hungar > Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP > Washington DC, United States > Lawyer Profile

Widely acknowledged to rank among the leading appellate practices in the US, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP fields an enviably deep bench that is well dispersed across the country, leveraging platforms in key states such as California, Texas, and Washington DC. Among its recent high-profile cases, Washington DC-based Thomas Hungar scored a unanimous win at the US Supreme Court for Slack Technologies in a landmark case discussing direct listings. Hungar also teamed up with the labor and employment practice to successfully represent UBS before the Second Circuit in a Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower retaliation case. The national group is co-chaired by former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Thomas Dupree in Washington DC, who has argued more than 100 appeals; Dallas-based department co-head Allyson Ho, who is set to represent Truck Insurance Exchange before SCOTUS in a high-profile bankruptcy-related case; and Los Angeles-based Julian Poon. The formidably strong practice also draws on Theodore Boutrous in Los Angeles whose impressive appellate track record spans civil, constitutional and criminal cases; Miguel Estrada, who has argued twenty-four cases before SCOTUS; and global litigation co-chair Helgi Walker. Former District Judge for the District of Maryland George Hazel recently joined the team. All lawyers mentioned are in Washington DC unless otherwise stated.

Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP‘s transnational litigation group specializes in complex international disputes, working with high-net-worth individuals and leading companies on leading cases. Leading supply chain cases including human rights and ESG-related matters are often undertaken by the practice that is adept at defending corporations in regulatory investigations. Sensitive internal investigations across financial institutions, insurance, and accountancy are a key strength of the team. In the Los Angeles office, Perlette Michèle Jura is a co-founder of the practice, and plays an integral role in the environmental, consumer, and tort matters acted on by the team. In the same office, William Thomson notably represents Chevron in complex protracted litigation, and is part of the leadership team alongside New York-based Andrea Smith. Smith is skilled at handling litigation in front of both federal circuit and supreme courts, and is notably Dole Food’s lead counsel. Operating out of Washington DC, Thomas Hungar aids clients with both congressional investigations and RICO litigation, and is an integral part of the team representing Chevron, while Anne Champion in New York remains a key name for complex international disputes, including RICO, fraud, and tort claims.
