Ted Olson

Ted Olson courageously follows his convictions and has been pleasing the courts and our nation’s presidents for a legal career that spans more than 45 years. He’s one of a small handful of attorney’s who have made more than 55 appearances before the U.S. Supreme Court, including notable instances where he crossed the ideological isle from many of his friends to argue against bans on gay marriage. Ted stands firm in the instrumental positions he fills in our justice system, including his service as personal counsel to two U.S. presidents — Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, which has earned him recognition as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world. Ted currently practices at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
