The London office of global law firm K&L Gates LLP has added Mayank Gupta as a partner in the firm’s global finance practice. He joins K&L Gates from Mayer Brown in London.
With experience spanning leveraged finance, corporate finance, sovereign lending, and emerging markets, Gupta acts for both institutional lenders and multinational borrowers on transactions across a range of jurisdictions and sectors, including healthcare; real estate; energy, infrastructure & resources; and telecoms. He previously practiced in Hong Kong and Australia.
Gupta stated: “K&L Gates’ genuine, integrated international network — including in the emerging markets area — and clearly defined London offering make it the ideal platform for my practice. I am very excited about joining K&L Gates and the opportunity for my practice and my clients to capitalize upon the firm’s broad and diverse offering.”
“Mayank’s focus on cutting-edge international finance transactions and high-end advice is perfectly aligned with the direction our practice has been heading,” said Tony Griffiths, administrative partner of K&L Gates’ London office. “He is an important addition to our team.”
Lawyers in K&L Gates’ finance practice represent financial institutions, lenders, servicers, trustees, investors, alternative capital providers, asset based lenders, and private equity funds on borrowings, new lendings, restructurings, workouts and enforcements of debt and equity positions encompassing a variety of financing transactions, including corporate, acquisition, asset-based, project, real estate, transportation, and Islamic finance matters. Gupta is the second partner addition to the practice in as many months, following the June arrival of New York and Pittsburgh partner Vanessa Spiro.
