Bio

Gordon Wright is a trial lawyer focusing his practice on the preparation and trial of lawsuits.  In more than 31 years of practice he has tried cases relating to business disputes, personal injuries, intellectual property, medical negligence, birth trauma, wrongful death, and professional malpractice. 

Licensed in Texas, California, Oregon, and Utah, Gordon focuses his practice on the preparation and trial of complex cases.  In recent trials Gordon has successfully obtained verdicts in favor of his clients, which protected them from paying alleged damages amounting to millions of dollars and which vindicated their professional competence.  In several recent representations, Gordon has represented attorneys whose competence and reputations have been successfully protected.

In addition to handling cases where he has been admitted to practice, Gordon has also represented clients in other states, trying a case to verdict in Alabama and representing large hospitals in other states.

Gordon has litigated complex birth injury cases, trade secret cases, copyright issues, employment law matters, products liability cases, contract disputes, insurance bad faith claims and all kinds of business and personal tort litigations.  He has successfully tried matters in federal and state courts.  Gordon has fought injunctions that would have been fatal to the continued existence of his corporate clients had they been granted.   Gordon Wright’s breadth of experience and diverse practice ranging from complex business cases to emotionally charged birth trauma cases are expanding as the law changes and new areas of litigation become important.

Though most of his professional endeavor is in the trial of lawsuits, Gordon has successfully represented clients in appellate cases and has counseled clients on non-litigated matters ranging from obtaining and defending trademarks to advising clergy on the protection of children when abuse is alleged.

To relax, Gordon enjoys a number of activities, most recently keeping two beehives at his home.
