Dallas Lawyers, Including AT&T GC McAtee, Take Center Stage in Historic Antitrust Trial

This week, a potentially epic and landmark trial gets underway in a federal courtroom in Washington, D.C., pitting the mighty power of the United States government against telecommunications giant AT&T of Dallas.

A handful of Texas lawyers, including several senior in-house counsel at AT&T and partners in the Dallas office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, are playing prominent roles in the litigation. Pretrial arguments take place Monday and Tuesday. The non-jury trial is scheduled to begin Wednesday and could last two months.
