Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is pleased to announce that Eugene Scalia will return as a partner to the firm’s Washington, D.C. office after serving as the 28th U.S. Secretary of Labor. Scalia will again co-chair Gibson Dunn’s Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice Group and will also serve as a Senior Member of the firm’s Labor and Employment Practice Group and Financial Institutions Practice Group. He will continue representing clients in a broad range of regulatory, appellate, and labor and employment matters.
A Senior Fellow of the Administrative Conference of the United States, Scalia will remain involved with select issues he addressed as Labor Secretary, including the promotion of apprenticeships, and serving as a supervising partner in Gibson Dunn’s pro bono representation of veterans.
“We are delighted that Gene has returned to Gibson Dunn,” said Ken Doran, Chairman and Managing Partner of Gibson Dunn. “Gene is one of our nation’s leading administrative law litigators and employment lawyers. He is the only person who has served both as the Secretary of Labor and as Solicitor, the Department’s chief legal officer. This experience affords him unmatched and invaluable insights.”
“Gene is one of the few lawyers in the country who can claim success in challenging important federal regulations in private practice and crafting them from the ground up in government,” said Helgi Walker, Co-Chair of the firm’s Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice Group. “Gene is a brilliant litigator and a wonderful colleague and friend. We could not be more excited to welcome him back to the firm.”
“I’m very pleased to be returning to Gibson Dunn, where I began my law practice more than 30 years ago,” said Scalia. “Due in part to Ken Doran’s exceptional leadership of the firm, there is no better platform for representing clients in high-stakes regulatory litigation and in the most challenging employment matters. I look forward to supporting Managing Partner Elect Barbara Becker as the firm enters an important new chapter in its history.”
