Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is pleased to announce that AnnElyse Scarlett Gains has joined the firm’s Washington, D.C. office as a partner, where she will continue her business restructuring and reorganization practice.

“AnnElyse is a fantastic addition to the Gibson Dunn team,” said Greta B. Williams, Co-Partner-in-Charge of the Washington, D.C. office of Gibson Dunn.  “She is a well-respected, experienced lawyer who will add further bench strength to our premier business restructuring and reorganization practice.”

“We are excited to have AnnElyse join Gibson Dunn,” said Scott J. Greenberg, Global Co-Chair of the firm’s Business Restructuring and Reorganization Practice Group.  “Her vast experience in large complex restructurings specifically and in the distressed finance space more generally will allow her to contribute immediately to our practice.  Adding someone of AnnElyse’s caliber will help ensure that we continue to have the bandwidth necessary to handle the growing demand we are seeing as a result of the uncertain economic forecast facing a number of business sectors today.”

“I am delighted to begin the next chapter of my career at Gibson Dunn,” said Gains.  “The firm’s strong restructuring and reorganization practice has a market-leading reputation, which will serve as an excellent platform as I continue to grow my practice, but the real draw was the firm’s truly collaborative culture.  I look forward to working closely with my new colleagues as we help our clients achieve their business objectives.”
