Elizabeth Ruan Joins Gibson Dunn in Dallas as Partner

Gibson Dunn is pleased to announce that Elizabeth “Liz” Ryan has joined the Dallas office as a partner in the firm’s Litigation and Trials Practice Groups.

“Liz is an outstanding trial lawyer known for her exceptional courtroom skills. She has an earned reputation as a tough, smart, and well-prepared trial lawyer. We are thrilled to welcome her to the Gibson Dunn litigation team,” said Trey Cox, Co-Partner in Charge of Gibson Dunn’s Dallas office and Co-Chair of the firm’s Litigation Practice Group. “She has a proven track record of leading significant trials. Liz excels in navigating complex legal matters and providing invaluable counsel during challenging litigation. Her addition will enhance our robust litigation practice in Texas and beyond.”

“It is an incredibly exciting time to join Gibson Dunn. The firm’s growth in Texas is both explosive and impressive,” said Liz. “Even with this growth, Gibson Dunn has maintained a collaborative atmosphere, collegiality, renowned client service, and unparalleled litigation results. Having repeatedly co-counseled with outstanding Gibson Dunn attorneys throughout my practice, I’m now honored to join their ranks. I look forward to expanding my trial practice and appearing before courts and juries with even more frequency.”

Liz’s arrival continues the expansion of Gibson Dunn’s market-leading litigation practice in Texas, which features exceptional litigators who previously joined the firm, including Trey Cox and David Woodcock in Dallas and Gregg Costa, Collin Cox, and Sydney Scott in Houston, as well as recently promoted litigation partners, such as Christine Demana, Brad Hubbard, Ashley Johnson, and Betty Yang in Dallas. The firm’s Texas litigators are regularly recognized in industry rankings, such as Chambers USA, The Legal 500 United States, and Benchmark Litigation US. Last year, The American Lawyer named Gibson Dunn as the Texas Regional Litigation Department of the Year winner, which recognizes “the best litigation department in [the] jurisdiction.”
