Gibson Dunn is a go-to-firm for complex and challenging cases, especially those linked to high-profile debt restructuring and insolvency proceedings, a field where the litigation team excels. The versatile team is also capable of dealing with a variety of matters, spanning product liability, commercial litigation and arbitration award enforcement and also regularly assists companies facing mass proceedings from former employees in relation to dismissals or possible exposure to asbestos. High-profile investment funds and their portfolio companies, as well as many large companies, notably in the retail and industrial sectors, are clients. The team is headed by Jean-Pierre Farges and includes Pierre-Emmanuel Fender and Eric Bouffard. Robert Spano, formerly the President of the European Court of Human Rights who splits his time between the firm’s London and Paris offices, was a new arrival in late 2022.
