Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is pleased to announce that Philip Crump will join as a partner in the London office. Formerly a partner with Kirkland & Ellis in London, he will continue his debt finance practice at Gibson Dunn.
“We are delighted to welcome Phil to the firm,” said Ken Doran, Chairman and Managing Partner of Gibson Dunn. “The London office is a priority for investment and a growth area for us. We have made significant strides in building a top quality English law transactional practice, consisting of cross-border M&A, private equity, corporate, real estate and finance. Phil will add to our depth and strength in finance and restructuring and will mark another significant step toward our goals.”
“Philip is a seasoned and highly experienced debt finance lawyer with a broad-based practice,” said Tom Budd, Co-Partner in Charge of the firm’s London office and co-chair of the Global Finance Practice Group. “In addition to providing senior support to our core transactional practices, he will bring considerable experience in alternative and private capital finance, as well as consensual workout and restructuring transactions, all of which are key to our goal of building a leading borrower, sponsor, real estate debt finance practice in Europe.”
Crump reunites with A. Stephen Gillespie, former senior partner in the European debt finance practice with Kirkland & Ellis who joined Gibson Dunn in December 2014 and now serves as co-chair of Gibson Dunn’s Global Finance Practice Group.
“Philip is a terrific addition to the firm. He is a superb technical lawyer, who is highly regarded by clients for his strong commercial sense,” said Gillespie. “He has a broad and flexible finance practice that is well-suited to respond to the evolving European debt markets. His particular strengths in acquisition financings for LBOs, distressed and restructurings, and lending transactions for non-bank alternative asset managers are complementary to offerings of our London team.”
“I am delighted to be joining Gibson Dunn and to be continuing to develop my practice as part of Gibson Dunn’s impressive global corporate platform,” said Crump. “I look forward to working again with Stephen and my new colleagues.
