With nearly 200 attorneys, finalist Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s antitrust practice makes up 18 percent of the firm’s head count. That kind of muscle lets it juggle an array of work for such big names as 3M Company, Apple Inc., Comcast Corporation, Intel Corporation, Microsoft Corporation and UBS AG.

The firm prides itself on its roles in bet-the-company cases. It aims to be the go-to firm for multijurisdictional cartel defense and claims roles on nearly every major international cartel case in recent years. Continuing that tradition, the firm’s recent work includes representing UBS in the LIBOR rate-fixing scandal and Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd. in global LCD cartel investigations.
