Dentons Bolsters Banking and Finance Practice Team with the Addition of Partner Toby Gray

Global law firm Dentons has appointed Toby Gray as a partner in its Banking and Financial Services team in London. Gray joins Dentons from Linklaters, where he was a highly regarded Capital Markets partner.

Gray joins Dentons with over 27 years of experience at Linklaters, including 18 as a partner. He specialises in complex securitised derivatives, with a particular focus on repackagings, credit-linked notes, and synthetic securitisations.

Recognised by the major legal directories as "a market-leading repackaged note specialist and our relationship partner – exceptional" (Legal 500), Gray’s work covers the intersection of mainstream debt capital markets and derivatives. Having spent a significant portion of his career in Linklaters’ Asian offices, he also has extensive experience working with Asian, predominantly Japanese, clients to help them overcome cultural, practical, and commercial challenges and complete their most strategically important transactions.

Nick Hayday, who leads Dentons’ Banking & Financial Services practice in the UK, Ireland and the Middle East (UKIME), said: “We are thrilled to welcome Toby to our team. His extensive experience in structured finance and derivatives, as well as his broad experience in more mainstream capital markets transactions, will undoubtedly strengthen our offering to clients.”

Paul Jarvis, Chief Executive of Dentons’ UK, Ireland and Middle East region added, “Toby is a very welcome addition to our Banking & Financial Services team. His extensive profile within the industry will bring new opportunities to grow our structured finance team and strengthen our position in the market.”
