Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has appointed James Howe as a partner in the firm’s London office.
Formerly a partner with Proskauer Rose in London, Howe will continue his private equity and mergers and acquisitions practice at Gibson Dunn.
Ken Doran, chairman and managing partner of Gibson Dunn, says: “James will be a strong addition to our private equity and public and private M&A capabilities in the UK. Continuing to build our transactional capability in London is critical to establishing the bench strength and visibility needed to achieve long-term success in the UK and global markets.”
“James will be a terrific addition to the private equity team as well as the wider transactional team in London,” says Jeffrey Trinklein, co-partner in charge of the London office. “He is energetic and engaging and has a strong reputation among private equity companies and competitors alike. His arrival will be an important part of our effort to continue driving forward our private equity and transactional offering.”
“Gibson Dunn has a clear vision and commitment to growth in the London market, and specifically the private equity practice,” says Howe. “There is energy and excitement at the firm, and I look forward to expanding the practice in the firm’s collaborative, collegial and entrepreneurial environment.”
