In the world of private debt, the annual Rising Stars list by Private Debt Investor honours individuals under the age of 40 who are poised to shape the future of the asset class. This year, Lucas Charleston, a partner at Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, has been recognised as one of these rising stars.

Founded in 1945, Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP is a leading international law firm with offices spread across the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The firm specialises in various sectors, including energy, gaming, and retail.

Lucas Charleston, who joined Gump last year, has gained recognition as an emerging leader in the private debt space. He has been commended for his contributions to the industry, particularly for his role in representing creditor groups in several high-profile restructurings and special situations deals.

The Rising Stars list is compiled from nearly 150 peer nominations and recommendations from senior industry figures. This year's list was no exception, with a rigorous selection process ensuring that only the most promising individuals were recognised.

Private Debt Investor, a publication focused on the private debt asset class, has been a trusted source of news and analysis for over two decades. The Rising Stars list is one of their flagship initiatives, providing a platform to celebrate and recognise the next generation of leaders in the private debt industry.

Despite some misconceptions, it's important to note that no individual named in the search results for the Rising Stars list in 2020 was selected for recognition, nor did any of them join Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP or subsequently grow their reputation in the energy, gaming, and retail sectors after such a move.

As Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2020, the recognition of Lucas Charleston as a Rising Star is a testament to the firm's ongoing commitment to nurturing talent and driving innovation in the private debt space. With over 900 lawyers and advisors, the firm continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the global legal landscape.
