Ryan Nash is an associate in the Dubai office of Gibson Dunn, where he practices in the firm’s Investment Funds Practice Group.
Ryan primarily advises fund sponsors on the structuring, formation, and operation of private investment funds across asset classes, including private equity, venture capital, credit, real estate, and infrastructure. His practice focuses, in particular, on the establishment of funds in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), as well as cross-border structures for sponsors with a presence in other jurisdictions, including the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He has acted for both emerging managers and global asset managers, advising on fund structuring, sponsor economics (including carried interest and co-investment arrangements), and the regulatory and operational frameworks governing asset managers.
Ryan also represents institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and family offices, on their fund investments, co-investments, fund-of-one vehicles, separately managed accounts, investment management agreements, and other bespoke investment arrangements across a range of strategies and jurisdictions.
Prior to joining Gibson Dunn, Ryan practiced in the investment funds teams of other leading international law firms in the UAE, London, and Sydney.
