Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher announced a new leader for the firm’s private credit efforts in Ryan Kim, a partner who joined the firm’s New York office on Monday from Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld.

Kim is the latest private credit partner to switch firms as the practice remains one of Big Law’s most competitive, with Cahill Gordon & Reindell, Paul Hastings and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett each bringing in new talent in recent months.
