Kirkland Represents J.P. Morgan in Closing of Lynstone Special Situations Fund with over $1 Billion in Total Commitments

Kirkland & Ellis represented J.P. Morgan Asset Management in the closing of its Lynstone Special Situations Fund, the first special situations fund from J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives. With $1.06 billion in capital raised, Lynstone surpassed its $750 million target. Lynstone will invest in stressed, distressed and event driven situations across North American and European private and public credit markets, where underlying assets are discounted due to illiquidity or market disruption and where an event or catalyst has the strong potential to drive a positive total return.
