(Leading lawyers)Kirkland & Ellis LLP maintains its dominant presence in the private equity space, involved in the most high-value and market defining transactions in both the bulge-bracket and middle-market, regularly representing giant funds and sponsors including the likes of Blackstone, Carlyle, Ares, and Warburg Pincus. A defining strength of the practice is the seamless synergy between the PE transactional and investment funds practice’s, with the firm establishing itself as a critical advisor to sponsors considering consolidation, minority investments or change-of-control transactions.
