Gilson Gray—Paul Madden

Gilson Gray has hired Paul Madden as partner, appointing him head of dispute resolution for England and head of international insolvency. The move bolsters the firm’s London practice and supports its continued expansion across England.

Madden joins from Harneys, where he was global co-head of the mergers and securities litigation department and a partner in the insolvency team, working across Cayman Islands, Luxembourg and London. His practice focuses on funds disputes, securities litigation, shareholder disputes and corporate insolvencies, with particular expertise in share appraisal litigation and cross-border matters.

Glen Gilson, chairman and managing partner, said Madden’s ‘depth of experience in complex disputes and insolvency’ and his ‘strong leadership credentials’ make him ‘an excellent fit as we continue to grow our presence in London and across England’.

Madden said Gilson Gray’s ‘clear sense of direction and ambitious growth strategy’ appealed to him, adding that he was ‘looking forward to working closely with colleagues across the firm’ to enhance the disputes and insolvency offering.
