What the Team is Known For

The New York office provides global asset managers with a contact point for international legal support as well as access to European counsel via the firm's London and Munich offices. The firm is also known to maintain close relationships with carefully chosen local counsel in key jurisdictions, readily teaming up with leading firms in Ireland, Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands. US sponsors frequently engage the firm to advise on outbound investments into new overseas markets, and the firm is able to offer world-leading experience in representing sponsors in cross-border buyout transactions as a result.

Kirkland & Ellis is frequently recognised as a global powerhouse supporting 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.
