Global law firm DLA Piper announced its appointment of Gavin Woods as a partner in its Litigation and Regulatory practice in Ireland. Woods will begin in his role from January 2023. Woods joins from Arthur Cox, where he served as partner since 2011. Specialising in litigation, dispute resolution and investigations, Woods advises on a broad range of commercial disputes in the technology and financial services sectors. He is also a recognised authority on intellectual property, data, technology and content-related issues including defamation and reputational matters. In addition to bringing significant experience in representing clients before the Irish Courts, including the Commercial Court, Woods has played a significant role in promoting Ireland as a jurisdiction for the resolution of international commercial disputes. In his role as a committee member and former president of Arbitration Ireland (2017-2018), Woods represents the association in its engagement with the international arbitration community and international arbitral institutions. He is also one of Ireland’s representatives to the International Chamber of Commerce’s Commission on Arbitration and ADR. “Gavin’s extensive knowledge of complex litigation, dispute resolution and investigations will be brought to bear for DLA Piper clients, and I would like to welcome him to the team,” said David Carthy, Country Managing Partner for DLA Piper in Ireland. “This continues to be an exciting time for the firm in Ireland as we continue to build our team to meet the growing needs of the business and we know that the appointment of Gavin will add significant value to our clients.” Global law firm Clyde & Co has announced the appointment of Tim Pipe as a partner in its Energy, Marine and Natural Resources (EMNR) Group based in London. Pipe, who joins the firm from Dentons, is the latest appointment in Clyde & Co’s Global EMNR group, following the hire of partners Ton van den Bosch in Singapore and Robert Kritzman in Miami. These two partners received their appointments in November and May respectively. Pipe’s practice focuses on advising lenders, borrowers, international financial institutions and trading companies in relation to financings in the energy sector, with particular emphasis on upstream oil and gas businesses and in emerging markets, especially sub-Saharan Africa. Pipe has worked on a broad variety of financings, including reserve-based lending facilities, structured prepayment facilities and pre-export finance facilities, in addition to more traditional corporate lending transactions. “Clyde & Co's strategy for this area is very much aligned with my own practice,” Pipe said in a statement on his appointment. “It’s an exciting time for this area, with commodity traders providing new financing solutions for oil and gas companies and the higher oil price unblocking previously moribund projects.” DLA Piper Boosts Irish Litigation and Regulatory Practice Clyde & Co Bolsters Energy, Marine and Natural Resources Practice with London Partner Hire London, United Kingdom Clyde & Co Dublin, Ireland DLA Piper LAWYERMOVES 9
