What the team is known for

Kirkland & Ellis is frequently recognised as a global powerhouse that supports multinational clients in a wide range of practice areas. Its rapid expansion has seen it increase in prominence in European and Asian jurisdictions, including China, Germany and the UK. The firm continues to handle some of the most complex and sophisticated cross-border transactions and contentious proceedings, and has been particularly successful in building a strong global brand around the law firm's impressive work in the private equity sector.

Offices in China and Europe have enabled the firm to position itself on the international financing stage and facilitate US cross-border lending. It excels in sponsor-side representation in leveraged finance, with the US teams frequently acting for large US-based sponsors on their global investments. These clients utilise the firm’s increasingly deep global presence when coordinating cross-border transactions and also appreciate its strong capabilities in project-managing local counsel.

Strengths

"Kirkland & Ellis is just as strong in UK and Europe as in the US."

"With Kirkland, there is consistent strong performance across a wide range of jurisdictions."
