Gibson Dunn announced that David L. Perechocky has joined the firm’s New York office as a partner in the Real Estate Practice Group and Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Industry Group. David has a wide-ranging real estate transactional practice counseling REITs, real estate private equity sponsors, and other real estate companies and real estate-related businesses.
“We’re excited to welcome David to Gibson Dunn,” said Eric M. Feuerstein, Co-Chair of the Real Estate Practice Group. “David is a top real estate M&A dealmaker whose broad experience and impressive deal sheet will benefit clients navigating today’s market environment. With rising demand for REIT M&A transactions, including take-private deals, and a growing need among investors to access REIT capital markets, David’s deep experience managing complex and creative deal structures will be invaluable.”
“I’m thrilled to begin the next chapter of my career at Gibson Dunn,” said David. “Over the years, I’ve sat across the table from the Gibson Dunn team during numerous successful deal negotiations, and I know firsthand how tremendously talented and collaborative they are. The opportunity to expand my transactional practice by building on the firm’s premier real estate platform was highly compelling. As private equity increasingly focuses on private credit, sponsor consolidation, secondaries, and REIT capital-raising—including from retail investors—and public REITs continue to pursue accretive growth opportunities, I’m excited to help clients navigate these evolving dynamics with tailored strategies for complex deal structuring and capital access.”
