What the Team is Known For

Kirkland & Ellis is frequently recognised as a global powerhouse 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 firm's global network and typically coordinates high-value cross-border matters in the areas of corporate/M&A, restructuring, private equity transactions and financing.

A prominent player in the London market, the firm has a stellar reputation for its representation of private equity sponsors in their wide-ranging global investments. The London office provides high-end financing capabilities and provides an impressive transatlantic platform for US and European clients in cross-border transactions. It offers specialist expertise in high-yield products, leveraged finance and restructuring.

Strengths

The Kirkland & Ellis team is able to draw on significant global resources, with each office contributing local expertise and depth of experience. 

The firm demonstrates strong coordination across regions, including between M&A and financing.

Kirkland & Ellis' cross-border and multi-dimensional presence has been very helpful in assisting our global strategies.
