Brian M. Gillett

Exceptional Litigator for Complex Commercial Disputes

Our company engaged Brian Gillett at Bradley Arant to handle a significant breach of contract and business tort case stemming from a failed joint venture in the energy sector. From the outset, Brian's deep experience as a trial attorney on both the plaintiff and defense sides was evident. He possesses a rare strategic mind that can navigate the complexities of state and federal court with equal skill. His background in high-stakes commercial litigation was perfectly suited to our matter, and his recognition in Energy Law gave us confidence he understood the industry nuances from day one. Brian and his team built a compelling case, successfully argued a critical motion for summary judgment that narrowed the issues favorably, and ultimately secured a very strong settlement for us without the need for a full trial. His 16 years of practice and his ability to handle appellate work provided an added layer of security, knowing our case was structured to withstand appeal. The only minor critique, and why this is a 4-star instead of a 5-star review, is that during the most intense phases of discovery, communication from his junior associates could sometimes lag by a day or two, though Brian himself was always responsive to direct, urgent inquiries. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Brian Gillett for any complex commercial dispute in Dallas or beyond.
