Bio


Larry L. Simms came to the Washington office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in February 1985 from his position as Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice, where he served during the Ford, Carter and Reagan Administrations. A senior member of the firm's Appellate and Constitutional Practice Group, Mr. Simms had previously served as law clerk to Associate Justice Bryon R. White of the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington and Circuit Judge James L. Oakes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York. In his extensive appellate practice, Mr. Simms has represented many clients in litigation in the Supreme Court, the lower federal courts, and various state appellate courts. Representing many defendants in civil actions seeking the recovery of punitive damages, he has been personally and deeply involved in the framing of legal arguments that have led to the placing of substantial constitutional curbs on punitive damages by the Supreme Court.

Mr. Simms is also active in Chinese legal affairs. From 1995 to 1999, he served as Co-Chair of the China Law Committee of the International Section of Law and Practice of the American Bar Association. The China Law Committee has a broad range of interests in China, with a particular focus on establishing technical legal assistance programs to ensure the building of a legal infrastructure within China capable of implementing the many new commercial laws enacted by China over the past few years, and sufficient to permit China's entry into the WTO. Since June 1999, Mr. Simms has served as Counsel to and ex-officio member of the Board of Directors of the US-China Business Council in Washington, D.C. The Council's membership includes most of the major American corporations doing business in China and supports trade between the two countries in connection with its efforts to foster good relations between the peoples of the United States and China.

Mr. Simms is the founder and President of Washington-Beijing Scholastic Exchange, Inc., a not-for-profit organization that sponsors a student/teacher exchange program between high schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, China and several private schools in the Washington area. Since its founding in 1994, more than fifty Chinese students have come to the United States to participate in the program. Recently, a Tibetan student entered the United States to study here with the assistance of Mr. Simms and his exchange program - the first Tibetan student to be permitted by the Chinese government to leave China for study in the United States since the founding of the PRC in 1949.

Mr. Simms is a 1966 graduate of Dartmouth College, where he was a member of the NROTC program. He served as an officer in the U.S. Navy from 1966 until 1970 and left active duty in June 1970 as a Lieutenant. He graduated cum laude from Boston University School of Law in 1973, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review. He is a member of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's Diversity Committee.
