A Master Strategist for Complex Commercial Transactions

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-party commercial real estate financing deal that had stalled due to complex intercreditor issues. We were referred to Dennis Arnold at Gibson Dunn, and it was the best decision we could have made. Drawing on his nearly five decades of experience, which his 2010 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition in Real Estate Law only hints at, Dennis immediately identified the core structural problems that others had missed. His guidance was not just legally impeccable but strategically brilliant, navigating us through the intricate banking and finance regulations with absolute command. He possesses a rare ability to distill complexity into actionable clarity for his clients. The transaction closed successfully, with terms far more favorable than we anticipated. Dennis is the epitome of a seasoned counselor—calm, deeply knowledgeable, and utterly dedicated to achieving the optimal outcome. For any significant commercial matter in Los Angeles, he is simply unparalleled.
