Named a Capital Markets “Practice Group of the Year” by Law360 in 2020, we are regularly rated among the top law firms for number and value for the issuance of debt and equity securities.
Given Kirkland’s large volume of corporate transactions, we are seasoned in a number of disciplines that often need to be marshaled in complex financings, including corporate governance, debt finance, investment funds, real estate, tax, securities litigation, environmental, intellectual property and ERISA. The Firm’s emphasis on teamwork makes it easy to apply these different areas of experience for the benefit of our clients.
To provide the highest quality, cost-effective representation, the Kirkland lawyers with the most experience and knowledge assume prominent roles in the offerings we lead. Our extensive experience enables us to focus on relevant issues while being sensitive to the timing and staffing constraints that clients often face, and to build strong long-term relationships with issuers and their management teams.
