COMPLIANCE

Gibson Dunn is unwilling to assume the representation of clients from those states where the marketing material does not comply with State Bar requirements and where the client is generated as a result of that communication. No representation is made or intended that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. In situations in which our fees are contingent or partially contingent on the outcome of the case or transaction, the client is obligated for payment of court costs and expenses regardless of outcome.  Unless otherwise specified, the attorneys listed in this web site are admitted to practice in the jurisdiction of their office, and they are not certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.  Unless otherwise specified, the attorneys listed in this web site are not certified as a specialist in any practice area by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization.  Under the New York State Lawyer's Code of Professional Responsibility, portions of this web site contain attorney advertising.  Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.  Each representation has unique facts and circumstances that may impact results.
