Robert Spano, a partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, boasts a very distinct résumé. Splitting his time between the firm’s London and Paris offices, Spano’s diverse roles span from academia to law, and even music. Notably, he held the title of President at the European Court of Human Rights and now, serves as a board member for the International Damage Registry for Ukraine.
Aside from his extensive contributions in the field of law, Spano is also an academic, holding visiting and tenured professorships at the University of Oxford and the University of Iceland, respectively. In an unusually harmonic twist, he is additionally a member of the all-male choir ‘Fóstbræður’ or ‘Brotherhood’.
Spano’s remarkable transition from being the ECHR’s ‘Crisis President’ to making a late entry into Big Law makes his public-to-private career trajectory truly unique.
