Gabriel Yomi Dabiri is a finance attorney based in the United States who focuses his practice on private credit and direct lending matters. He currently serves in a global leadership capacity at his law firm, advising clients on domestic and cross-border finance transactions, restructurings, and special situations. His work reflects a steady, measured approach, centered on clear communication, careful analysis, and an understanding of how legal decisions affect broader business objectives in complex, often time-sensitive financial matters.

Gabriel has developed broad experience across a wide range of financing structures, including senior, mezzanine, and subordinated debt, as well as unitranche and multi-lien arrangements. His practice also includes cash flow lending, asset-based facilities, subscription lines, distressed debt, debtor-in-possession financings, and real estate-related structures. This breadth allows him to assist lenders, sponsors, and borrowers in both routine transactions and more complex financings that require disciplined judgment and close attention to market terms.

Gabriel dedicates a significant portion of his work to expanding and strengthening a global private credit and direct lending platform. He regularly advises on intercreditor negotiations, subordination arrangements, and restructuring matters that require practical solutions rather than abstract theory. His approach is grounded in understanding client priorities and risk tolerance, allowing him to help structure outcomes that are commercially realistic while remaining legally sound in challenging and evolving market conditions.

Gabriel Yomi Dabiri brings an international perspective shaped by years of living and working across major financial centers worldwide. He is admitted to practice law in the United States and England and Wales, enabling him to advise on transactions governed by different legal systems. This dual qualification supports his work on cross-border financings and multi-jurisdictional structures, helping clients manage complexity while maintaining consistency and efficiency across jurisdictions.

Gabriel began his legal career with training at an international law firm, where he worked across several offices and developed a strong foundation in banking and finance. He later joined another global firm as an associate, where he gained deeper exposure to private credit transactions and secured his first significant client in that space during his mid-level years. He then moved to another firm to further build his private credit practice and technical expertise.

Gabriel later accepted an opportunity to establish a private credit and cross-border finance practice at a national firm, while also serving as managing partner of its New York office. During his leadership tenure, the office experienced substantial growth in personnel and operations, eventually requiring expansion into additional space. He was actively involved in planning and development efforts, reflecting his belief that strong legal practices depend on thoughtful leadership and sustainable growth.

Gabriel Yomi Dabiri holds an academic background that combines economics, political science, and law, reflecting an early interest in the interaction between financial markets and legal systems. This education supports his ability to assess transactions from both legal and economic perspectives, particularly in matters involving layered capital structures or competing stakeholder interests. His training enables him to engage thoughtfully with complex issues and provide guidance that is grounded and well-reasoned.

Gabriel is also committed to contributing beyond his legal practice through philanthropy, volunteer service, and mentorship. He has served in governance and advisory roles for organizations focused on economic empowerment and has volunteered his legal skills in support of health-related initiatives. In addition, he mentors professionals and participates in knowledge-sharing efforts within the legal community, aiming to support responsible practice and long-term professional development.
