History

Gibson Arnold & Associates, Inc. (GAA) was founded in 1981 by entrepreneur Yahne Gibson, who sought to create a more effective process to meet the recruiting needs of the Houston legal community. She developed a business methodology that quickly earned a reputation for quality and professionalism; a reputation that rewarded the company with considerable success in Houston.

In 1987, GAA partnered with a major client in the Los Angeles area, which lead to the opening of our Los Angeles office two years later. GAA continued its growth with an expansion into the Denver market in 1992 spearheaded by Melinda Delmonico. The office quickly emerged as a major recruiting force in the Denver area. In 1995, GAA focused on providing contract lawyers for document review projects. In 2003, GAA opened its first review facility in Colorado. Subsequently, to service the Houston, Texas market more efficiently, GAA started a second review facility in 2008.

Having offices in three major U.S. cities put GAA in an excellent position to serve larger clients who sought a recruitment firm with a national reach. The increased scope also enabled GAA to recruit talent nationwide to fill local positions for clients and staff document reviews.

In January, 2004, Yahne sold the firm to Ms. Delmonico and GAA’s CFO, Scott Delmonico. Elizabeth Dahill, then Executive Vice President, joined in ownership later that year. For over a quarter of a century, Gibson Arnold & Associates, Inc. has successfully partnered with clients and built relationships with legal professionals across the nation. Yahne Gibson’s business methodology remains the foundation for our executive team, who are committed to continuing the success and growth of GAA without compromising our legacy of excellence.
