Corporate/M&A (International & Cross-Border) - USA
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. Its rapid expansion has seen it increase in prominence in European and Asian jurisdictions, including China, Germany and the UK, now offering an excellent platform across the USA and Europe with a strong track record for both inbound and outbound transactions. It continues to handle some of the most complex and sophisticated cross-border transactions and contentious proceedings.
The firm has been particularly successful in building a strong global brand around its impressive work in the private equity sector and has leveraged its strong transactional expertise dominance in this area to significantly expand its global footprint and capabilities. US funds frequently take the firm with them 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. It is frequently called upon by US and foreign clients to advise on international M&A deals, typically in relation to private sponsors but also increasingly in the public M&A arena.
