What the Team is Known For

Kirkland & Ellis is a global powerhouse supporting multinational clients in a wide range of practice areas. The firm's rapid expansion has seen it increase in prominence in European and Asian jurisdictions, including an established presence in China, with offices in Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. It continues to handle some of the most complex and sophisticated cross-border transactions and has been particularly successful in building a strong global brand around the firm's impressive work in the private equity sector. 

Recognised for its first-rate private equity practice, which advises leading US private equity houses and is increasingly popular among Asian clients, the team advises on fund formation, buyouts and exits, and is additionally much sought after for leveraged and acquisition finance. The firm is further highlighted for focusing on inbound Chinese investments. Its transactional expertise also includes an impressive ECM team well versed in advising domestic and international investment banks on US IPOs, in addition to secondary offerings in Hong Kong and New York. Kirkland & Ellis is noted for its coordination with its US offices for multi-jurisdictional transactions and financings.
