About Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani

Five decades ago in San Francisco, Stu Gordon and Don Rees put aside their rival allegiances to Cal and Stanford to create a law firm dedicated to providing outstanding client service, and based upon an internal culture of hard work, responsiveness, and camaraderie.  In 2014, the firm’s name expanded to “Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP” in order to recognize and honor the significant roles played by partners Miles Scully and Roger Mansukhani in contributing to our meteoric growth over the past decade.

A huge note of gratitude to The H-E-B Heights for generously supporting the workshop and Sesh Coworking for hosting the event.
