Gibson Dunn just promoted a huge group of forty-two lawyers to partner. This round set a new record for the firm, which reported strong revenue last year. Eleven of those promotions were in London, the office's biggest ever haul and a major jump from prior years. Global chair Barbara Becker linked the moves to growing client needs across several key markets.
The London office has been expanding aggressively for several years, significantly growing its lawyer count and revenue. This promotion batch reflects that growth, focusing on practices like private equity and mergers. The firm also recently hired a partner from Latham for its London M&A team. Promotions across the United States were spread among cities like Washington DC and Los Angeles. Six other international offices, from Brussels to Hong Kong, saw one promotion each.
The litigation department saw the most new partners in this round. Other practice areas, like antitrust and real estate, also had several promotions. Becker praised the group's client work and their contributions to the firm. These promotions become official at the start of next year.
