Dole Food Co. and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher both call The Golden State home, but the multinational corporation has given the firm a global stage on which to shine.
Dole came to Gibson Dunn in 2008 with a docket of toxic tort litigation that had been around for 20 years. In cases filed in the United States, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and the Ivory Coast, thousands of plaintiffs claimed injury from exposure to the agricultural chemical DBCP while working on banana farms in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.
