Gibson, Dunn, & Crutcher, a global law firm that ranks #15 on ALM's Global 200 list, has been called to back reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter & Co. in two recently filed lawsuits over the defection of its CG Access unit to Howden Reinsurance Brokers. The two suits were brought in Texas and in New York.
