Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is pleased to announce that Greg Campbell will be joining the firm as a partner in the London office on 2 June, 2008. Previously with Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, Campbell practices in the area of international finance and corporate transactions.

"Greg is a very talented lawyer with an extremely versatile practice," said Ken Doran, Managing Partner of Gibson Dunn. "His addition will bring much needed additional capacity for the finance practice in London, which has grown strongly over the last few years, driven in part by the strength of our corporate, M&A, private equity and real estate practices."

"Greg’s excellent experience and client-focused approach is a great fit for Gibson Dunn," said Tom Budd, Co-Partner-in-Charge of the London office and Co-Chair of the firm’s Global Finance Practice Group. "His experience representing corporate borrowers and private equity sponsors in leveraged and investment grade finance transactions will provide a valuable enhancement to our European finance practice."

"My broad experience in finance and corporate transactions will work well with Gibson Dunn’s platform in London and across the firm’s European and Dubai offices," said Campbell. "I look forward working with my new colleagues."

Campbell is both an English solicitor and a member of the New York bar, and his practice covers a wide range of transactions with a focus on international finance, particularly acting for corporate borrowers and private equity sponsors in leveraged and acquisition finance transactions, as well as acting for mandated lead arrangers of corporate facilities. He also has experience in public and private mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt capital raising, and restructuring and insolvency.

Before joining the firm, he practiced with the London office of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton and previously served as a judicial assistant to two English Court of Appeal judges.

Campbell studied at Merton College, Oxford, where he gained a First Class Honours Degree in jurisprudence.

The firm's Global Finance group focuses on the representation of lenders, borrowers, underwriters and issuers in a wide range of debt and structured finance transactions, including leveraged loans, high yield bond offerings, mezzanine, project finance, equipment financings, restructurings and securitisations. During the past two years, Gibson Dunn handled finance transactions with an aggregate value in excess of US$177 billion. Also during this period, Gibson Dunn lawyers handled leveraged loan facilities aggregating more than US$61 billion and helped clients raise over US$10 billion in 24 high yield issues.
