Kirkland & Ellis LLP‘s tax practice is consistently sought out by a myriad of industry leaders for its capabilities in big-ticket M&A, investment fund formations, and restructurings. Chicago-based co-head Todd Maynes focuses on debt restructurings and tax litigation, while fellow co-head Dean Shulman handles the formation and operation of partnerships, limited liability companies, joint ventures, and REITs. Also in Chicago are Gregory Gallagher and Mike Carew, noted for their respective strengths in domestic and international deal structuring, and William Levy, who maintains a robust presence in the real estate space, an area in which Mark Schwed and Adam Kool further excel. Also recommended for their exceptional transactional acumen are Sara Zablotney and Los Angeles-based Anne Kim. Joseph Tootle advises private equity clients on the tax aspects of investment fund formations. The firm’s hiring streak has continued as of late, with headline additions including investment fund expert Christopher Odell, who joined the Chicago office from Mayer Brown in April 2022, and the REIT-focused Adam Arikat, based in Dallas. All named lawyers are based in New York unless stated otherwise.
