Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has hired Jocelyn Williams as an of counsel to join its litigation, global financial regulatory, and white collar defence and investigations practice groups in Hong Kong.
Sebastien Evrard, partner in charge at Gibson Dunn Hong Kong, welcomed Williams. “We are excited to welcome Williams to Gibson Dunn. She is an accomplished practitioner and the breadth and depth of her experience will further bolster our formidable disputes and regulatory offering in Asia,” he said.
Williams brings to Gibson Dunn a nine-year tenure as in-house counsel at Deutsche Bank where she led its Asia-Pacific litigation and regulatory enforcement team. With more than 20 years of multijurisdictional dispute experience, Williams has advised banks, securities firms, big four accounting firms, and corporates on litigation, contentious regulatory and insolvency matters.
Brian Gilchrist, partner at Gibson Dunn, said: “Her experience in managing the litigation and regulatory enforcement docket at one of the world’s largest financial institutions makes her skill set particularly valuable in navigating the market. She is an excellent addition to the firm.”
