(Next Generation Partners)London > Corporate and commercial > Financial services: contentious
Kirkland & Ellis International LLP‘s contentious regulatory practice draws upon the collective experience of both the financial regulatory, and the government and internal investigations groups. The arrival of ‘fantastic new hire‘ Julia Dixon from Linklaters LLP in November 2021 to co-chair the team alongside Marcus Thompson signalled the beginning of a concerted period of growth and development for the group. The partner bench has further expanded with the lateral hire of Shruti Chandhok from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP in June 2022, and the promotion of Patrick Navein.

Kirkland & Ellis International LLP has a strong track record handling high-profile corporate crime investigations by domestic enforcement authorities, including the SFO, FCA, OFSI, and HMRC. The team shows significant strength advising large private equity firms and their portfolio companies on complex anti-money laundering, fraud, and financial sanctions matters, regularly drawing on its offices abroad to deliver global solutions. Marcus Thompson co-heads the department, bringing more than 20 years’ experience in financial crime matters to the offering, while the other co-head Satnam Tumani specialises in compliance issues and complex bribery and corruption cases. Patrick Navein handles economic sanctions and money laundering elements, while both Andrew Butel and Shruti Chandhok focus on internal corporate investigations and regulatory compliance.
