About the firm
Founded by Robin Gibbs, named the “Father of the Litigation Boutique in Texas” by The Texas Lawbook, Gibbs & Bruns engages exclusively in high-stakes business and commercial litigation. The firm is acclaimed for its signature lean trial teams and high-value, precedent-setting work across the energy, construction, technology, and financial services sectors, among others. Exceedingly rare for a litigation firm, we routinely practice on both sides of the docket. With both plaintiff and defense experience, we bring a higher level of insight and strategy to complex disputes.
Gibbs & Bruns sustains a forward-thinking culture of creativity and a personal approach to managing its client matters. Risk sharing with clients and innovative fee arrangements are a hallmark of Gibbs & Bruns’ practice. The firm’s track record of success since 1983 attests to the talents, creativity, and dedication of our trial lawyers. Reciprocity is at the core of all of the firm’s client engagements.
