WASHINGTON, D.C. — As business and financial communities face new challenges because of recent dramatic economic events and as Congress and the Bush Administration reshape U.S. financial markets in Washington, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP has assembled a team of attorneys to help companies monitor, analyze, respond to and participate in the development of the new financial environment and regulation.

The attorneys in Gibson Dunn’s Financial Markets Crisis Group have experience in the areas of securities, finance, corporate, real estate, tax, bankruptcy, public policy and crisis management. As the administration and Congress move forward to address the liquidity crisis and related problems, the firm’s Financial Markets Crisis Group will keep clients apprised of key developments and ensure that their voices are heard in the debate about how to repair the country’s financial infrastructure.

The group will be coordinated by Michael Bopp, formerly associate director of the Office of Management and Budget and a partner in Gibson Dunn’s Washington, D.C., office.
