As preparation continues for the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, the LA28 committee has named another locally based business as a partner in the games.
Downtown-based Big Law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher is now the official legal services partner of LA28. The firm, formed in 1890, is tied with downtown-based Sheppard in being the largest legal operation in the county, with 308 attorneys.
Gibson Dunn comes with the experience.
Its sports industry practice group works with teams, venues, associations and broadcasters in a variety of transactions, compliance issues and other legal matters.
“Preparing for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games requires sophisticated advice across a wide range of legal disciplines, and Gibson Dunn is uniquely positioned to bring together lawyers from across the firm to help LA28 meet that challenge,” said Candice Choh and Kahn Scolnick, co-partners in charge of Gibson Dunn’s downtown and Century City offices, in a joint statement.
