PROVIDENCE – New England Legal Foundation President Dan Winslow today announced
the appointment of Gibson Dunn partner Mark A. Perry to the Foundation’s Rhode
Island Advisory Council. Perry lives in Rhode Island and serves as Co-Chair of the Firm’s
nationwide Appellate and Constitutional Law Practice Group. “We are thrilled to add
Mark Perry to the ranks of law firm counsel and in-house counsel who will advise NELF
how best to shape judicial decisions to advance our mission of promoting free
enterprise, property rights, good government, and inclusive growth,” said Winslow.
Mr. Perry is an accomplished appellate lawyer who has briefed and argued many cases in
the Supreme Court of the United States—including winning the landmark decisions in

He has served as chief appellate counsel to Fortune 100 companies in significant
securities, intellectual property, and employment cases. Perry is ranked by Chambers

strategist and a brilliant writer.’” Before joining Gibson Dunn, Mr. Perry served as a law
clerk to Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the Supreme Court of the United States.
“We welcome Mark Perry and a greater presence by Gibson Dunn in New England. We
are adding new members to our Advisory Councils in each New England state,” noted
