🧠 Practice Area Strategy

In short: Gibson Dunn is zeroing in on energy infrastructure private equity M&A and high stakes disputes as key growth areas. Recent deals and hires show the firm strengthening these practices to meet surging client demand.

Details:

Energy & Infrastructure: The firm has aggressively expanded its energy and infrastructure practice worldwide. For example Gibson Dunn welcomed back a partner from Ares Management to its New York Energy & Infrastructure group in 2025 citing strong demand for sophisticated transactions across asset classes and geographies. In London the hire of prominent energy M&A lawyer Simon Tysoe from Latham & Watkins in October 2025 built on a strategic push in energy transition and renewables deals. This focus aligns with client demand for advice on infrastructure investments and the energy transition such as renewables and digital infrastructure projects.
