Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Incredible breadth, very consistent high performers among all lawyers, top to bottom. Incredibly responsive and will go the extra mile.’
‘The KE transaction group brings its vast resource of talented people to each transaction which enables you to quickly and efficiently negotiate, sign, and close.’
‘Chris Heasley and David Castro are both exceptional in their work ethic, problem solving, and industry knowledge.’
‘David Castro, Will Eiland and the rest of the Kirkland team have been instrumental in our success. Kirkland takes a creative and constructive approach when working with seller's counsel and over the last year we have had to come up with bespoke solutions given the new deal structures around co-buying assets. They are available round the clock and are always proactive in moving things along no matter what stage a deal is in.’
‘David Castro, Will Eiland, Chad Smith all stand out for their creative and constructive approaches during negotiation. If there's a point to be made, context is provided in order to help the other side understand where we are coming from and in turn we're able to find solutions for both sides compared to a reversion to a redline that comes across. They also offer their strategic vision when the commercial team has questions or needs to weigh the pros and cons of accepting certain proposed revisions.'
‘The Kirkland team does have its pulse on the market. They have just done so many different deals. They know market terms and are creative in approach. As such, we can easily rely on the team.’
'David Castro, Chris Heasley and Chad Smith are all exemplary lawyers. They are also very user friendly.’
