As counsel in the Litigation Practice Group, Iris Gibson focuses her practice on writing and on effectively telling her clients' stories. At the pretrial level, Iris authors summary judgment and other dispositive motions, which help her clients resolve their cases at the earliest possible stage. At the trial phase, Iris effectively presents her clients' positions and defenses in complex commercial disputes involving claims such as fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference, and negligence. Iris concentrates on commercial and franchise-related litigation. She has represented a diverse group of clients on a wide range of legal matters, including franchise and distribution disputes, business and contract litigation, breach of fiduciary claims, and environmental enforcement litigation.
Before joining the firm, Iris was a litigation consultant, providing financial, economic, and damage analysis for business disputes.

Chrys Dougherty Award for exemplary dedication and commitment to the principle of access to justice for all people regardless of income. Iris continues to hone her litigation skills through her pro bono work with Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas.
