Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border)

Kirkland & Ellis is frequently recognised as a global powerhouse in the transactional work, supporting multinational clients in a wide range of practice areas. The law firm has rapidly expanded its London office with several high-profile lateral hires and the UK team often plays a crucial role as an international hub for the law firm's global network.

Revered for its globally dominant sponsor-side private equity practice, the law firm has made great strides in the London transactional market, offering a stellar M&A team, notably in leveraged buyouts. A top choice for US asset managers and funds in their transatlantic and pan-European investments, the firm is increasingly prominent in European M&A, with London acting as a key hub to service UK and European private equity firms. The firm's clients frequently invest in a range of global jurisdictions, making the M&A team an experienced group in coordinating cross-border matters and project-managing local counsel.
