A change in leadership didn’t stand in the way of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s 26th straight year of revenue growth. Ken Doran, the firm’s chair and managing partner since 2002, handed the reins last May to Barbara Becker, who was proud to be able to announce $2.48 billion in revenue, an increase of 14.8% from the previous year.

“We’re firing on all cylinders, and our firm is stronger than ever,” Becker said.
