Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP has added Michael Weinberger to the firm’s New York office as a partner. Weinberger will continue his real estate finance practice, which is focused on commercial mortgage-backed securitization (CMBS), balance sheet, mezzanine and construction loan originations, restructurings and secondary market transactions.

“We are delighted to welcome Michael to the Gibson Dunn team,” said Mylan L. Denerstein, co-partner-in-charge of the firm’s New York office. “He is a proven star, and his practice will further complement our market-leading real estate group.”

“[Weinberger] is one of the most respected practitioners in the field, admired by counsel and clients alike and the top lender-side lawyer in the country,” said Eric M. Feuerstein, co-chair of the real estate practice group. “His experience, particularly on real estate financing, is simply unparalleled and will serve as a tremendous asset for the Gibson Dunn real estate platform.”

“I am excited to begin the next chapter of my career at Gibson Dunn,” said Weinberger. “I look forward to working alongside this terrific group of colleagues to help our clients navigate their most complex transactions. I couldn’t be happier to join this very talented team.”
