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.

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.
