Mr Allan Neil > Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher > London, England > Lawyer Profile

The litigation practice at ‘top tier firm’ Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher handles the full gamut of commercial litigation, including complex-cross border disputes. Group litigation is a particular strength of the team, with Osma Hudda and Doug Watson both key names in this area, along with team head Philip Rocher. Rocher, along with Allan Neil and Susy Bullock all have extensive experience in offshore disputes. The in-house trial advocacy ability of the team is a key differentiator, led by Lord Charles Falconer KC, ‘absolutely one of the best litigators and counsel in London.’

Boasting substantial experience in advising major banks and financial service providers in global investigations regarding financial fraud, the London-based Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher team works closely with its colleagues in the US, Europe, and Asia.

Philip Rocher leads the department, whilst Sacha Harber-Kelly specialises in global white-collar proceedings. Patrick Doris is an expert on sanctions and tax evasion matters, and Allan Neil represents clients within the finance sector. The ‘excellent’ Matthew Nunan is knowledgeable on financial services regulation, and of counsel Christopher Loudon is also noted.
