Cedric Van den BorrenKirkland & Ellis International LLP

Kirkland & Ellis International LLP is a ‘leading law firm representing financial sponsor clients‘, and it is praised as ‘highly professional, ensuring smooth execution on highly complex transactions‘. William Burke and Cedric Van den Borren lead a ‘consistently creative and solution-oriented‘ practice, in which Tim Volkheimer, who handles leveraged finance and high yield transactions as well as bond restructurings and liability management transactions, is a key player. Emerging talent Antoine Lebienvenu has a broad debt and equity practice that sees him act in high yield bond issuance, restructurings and consent solicitations. Matthew Merkle and Deirdre Jones joined Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, but the arrival of Marwa Elborai from A&O Shearman is a major coup, as she brings vast experience in advising sponsors, corporates, credit funds and financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions.
