When my company faced an unexpected SEC inquiry that quickly escalated, the board knew we needed specialized counsel. We were referred to Dillon Westfall at Gibson Dunn, and it was the best decision we made. Despite his relatively recent graduation from NYU Law, Dillon’s command of white-collar defense is profound. He possesses a preternatural understanding of regulatory nuance and prosecutorial strategy that belies his years. Dillon meticulously guided our internal review, ensuring complete cooperation while fiercely protecting our interests. His ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable business advice was invaluable. The matter was resolved favorably without any enforcement action, a testament to his strategic foresight and diligent preparation. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Criminal Defense: White-Collar is clearly well-earned. Dillon is not just a brilliant legal mind; he is a calm, steady partner in a crisis. I would recommend him without reservation to any executive or corporation navigating high-stakes government investigations.
