Gregory G. Garre

Gregory Garre is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office and former Global Chair of the firm’s Supreme Court & Appellate Practice. Gregory handles a broad array of complex litigation matters at all levels of the federal and state court systems and counsels clients on constitutional, statutory, regulatory, and other legal matters. Gregory served as the 44th Solicitor General of the United States (2008-2009), after being unanimously confirmed to the position by the US Senate. As Solicitor General, he was the federal government’s top lawyer before the Supreme Court and was responsible for overseeing the government’s litigation in the federal appellate courts. He also served as Principal Deputy Solicitor General (2005-2008) and as an Assistant to the Solicitor General (2000-2004). He is the only person to have held all of those positions within the Office of the Solicitor General. Gregory has argued 51 cases before the Supreme Court and has briefed and served as counsel of record in hundreds of additional cases before the Court at both the merits and certiorari stage. Gregory has successfully argued some of the highest profile cases before the Supreme Court during the last 15 years, including Fisher v. University of Texas, Florida v. Georgia, Ashcroft v. Iqbal, Vance v. Ball State University, United States v. Home Concrete & Supply LLC, Maples v. Thomas, Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc., Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., Baze v. Rees, and Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. In addition, he has filed scores of successful certiorari petitions before the Court, and successfully opposed certiorari on numerous occasions. Gregory has frequently prevailed in the most hard-fought cases before the Supreme Court. For example, in Florida v. Georgia, the Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision allowing Florida’s equitable apportionment action against Georgia to proceed, a major win for the state in its battle to save the Apalachicola region. In Fisher v. University of Texas, the Supreme Court issued a 4-3 decision upholding the University of Texas’s admissions program against a constitutional challenge. In Vance v. Ball State University, the Court issued a 5-4 decision in favor of Gregory's employer client, in one of the most closely watched employment discrimination cases in recent years. And, in United States v. Home Concrete, the Court sided with Gregory's taxpayer client and handed the IRS a rare defeat in a 5-4 decision that the Wall Street Journal reported could have a billion dollar tax impact. Gregory also has argued scores of cases before the federal and state courts of appeals. In recent appeals, for example, he secured the reversal of a US$657 million dollar damages award entered against United Technologies Corp. under the False Claims Act, which had been the largest damages award entered for the government under the False Claims Act following a trial. As The American Lawyer wrote, “Gregory Garre convinced a federal appeals court to throw out [the US$657 million award],” “upending a government victory in a roller-coaster case spanning three decades.” (United Technologies Corp. v. US) Gregory also has handled numerous cases before the Federal Circuit, including in the areas of patent eligibility and claim construction. For example, he secured a complete victory before the Federal Circuit on behalf of WildTangent, Inc. in Ultramercial Inc. v. WildTangent Inc., named by Law360 as one of five patent cases to watch in 2014. In OIP Technologies Inc. v. Amazon.com, he secured the dismissal of a major patent infringement action against Amazon. And he secured a complete win for Amazon.com in another major patent fight in United Video Properties, Inc. v. Amazon.com. Gregory has handled numerous other patent matters, including successful dispositive motions in district court. Gregory also secured high-profile appellate victories on behalf of one of the country’s largest builders in a major tax appeal in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Shea Homes v. Commissioner); a group of leading oil, gas, and other Fortune 100 companies in a major environmental case decided by the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (National Environmental Development Ass’n Clean Air Project v. EPA); and on behalf of Ford Motor Company in a significant preemption case decided by the South Carolina Supreme Court (Priester v. Ford). In addition, in NJOY v. FDA, Gregory secured a path-marking victory in the D.C. Circuit on behalf of an e-cigarette maker on the scope of the Food and Drug Administration’s regulatory authority over e-cigarettes, which the Wall Street Journal called a “bet-the-industry case.” Gregory has handled cases involving a wide array of additional matters, including in the areas of administrative law, alien tort statute, antitrust, arbitration, bankruptcy, business and employment and labor law, contract law, civil rights, education, environmental law (Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and National Environmental Policy Act), First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, food and drug, Indian law, intellectual property (patent, copyright, and trademark), international law, labor, preemption, separation of powers, tax, telecommunications, torts, and voting rights. In 2014, Gregory was elected to both the American Law Institute and the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers. In 2012, he was awarded the prestigious Rex Lee Advocacy Award. In 2016, 2014, and 2011, he was recognized by the Financial Times in its US Innovative Lawyers Report. In 2010, he was named Appellate Lawyer of the Week by the National Law Journal for his successful arguments before the Supreme Court in two different cases just eight days apart. Gregory also has received numerous awards for his public service, including the Attorney General’s Medallion for his service as Solicitor General. He is a recipient of the Attorney General’s Distinguished Service Award, the Attorney General’s Award for Excellence in Furthering Interests of US National Security and additional honors from the Department of Justice for his work on important civil litigation matters. In addition, he received the Navy’s Distinguished Public Service Award — the Navy’s highest civilian honor — for his argument in Winter v. NRDC, which secured a major Supreme Court win for the Navy. In 2011, the Chief Justice of the United States appointed Gregory to the Standing Committee on the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial Conference of the United States, the highest rule-making body in the US Judicial System, where he served until 2017. In that capacity, Gregory also served as a liaison member of the Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules. In 2018, Gregory was appointed to the Board of Directors of the US Chamber Litigation Center, the litigating arm of the US Chamber of Commerce. Gregory has taught constitutional law and Supreme Court practice at the George Washington University Law School, where he delivered the commencement address for the law school in its 150th anniversary year. He has testified before Congress on several occasions and speaks and publishes frequently on issues related to the Supreme Court and appellate practice. Following his graduation from law school, Gregory served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and to Judge Anthony J. Scirica of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
