Practice Areas

Alexandra (Alex) Farmer is a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. She leads the Firm’s Sustainability Practice Group, which advises industry-leading private equity sponsors, financial institutions and corporations on complex sustainability risk, investment and governance matters. She is particularly adept at guiding clients through the tensions and trade-offs inherent with competing stakeholder expectations around sustainability and responsible investment — balancing investor demands, regulatory developments, and reputational and risk considerations. Alex advises clients on sustainability matters across a wide variety of corporate transactions, ranging from multibillion dollar impact fundraises with varied global investor demands, to highly complex M&A transactions, to shareholder proposals across a broad range of environmental and social topics.
