Chambers Review
Gibson Dunn is highly regarded for its expertise in private equity investments and corporate structurings. It often advises sovereign wealth funds, private equity houses and a range of domestic and multinational companies on a wide variety of transactions. Much of its regional work is run via the UAE, where the firm recently made several very significant lateral hires; its strength in Dubai and Abu Dhabi is now also complemented by its recently established Riyadh office. Its team in the Middle East is ably supported by lawyers in London.
