Kirkland & Ellis LLP

Kirkland & Ellis LLP houses an experienced antitrust and competition offering, handling high profile transactional, investigational, litigation and consumer protection matters. Its work for public companies and private equity funds is a particular standout, as is the scale of its HSR notifications work. The team leverages its global offering in Europe and the UK,  including in advising Amcor on its pending $37bn merger with Berry Global Group. Matthew Reilly, in the Washington DC team, leverages longstanding experience of the FTC to support clients handling complex, high-profile transactions, including in merger litigation. Also in DC, Marin Boney is particularly recommended for her work in the software and technology, energy, healthcare, and consumer products and services sectors. In February 2024 the team gained New York-based Daniel Zach, who moved over from Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, and DC-based Norman Armstrong, formerly of King & Spalding LLP. The pair were followed in October 2024 by Stephen Mohr in DC, former Assistant Director in the FTC, where he led the Mergers I Division.
