ALM kicked off the first ever New England Legal Awards this week, aiming to honor exceptional attorneys from over 80 firms in the region. Among them is Amanda Border, a corporate partner at Kirkland & Ellis’s Boston office. Making a name for herself as one of the youngest U.S equity female partners at Kirkland, Border has proven her expertise by representing firm clients in a variety of complex corporate and transactional matters.
Her notable client engagements span across mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, growth equity, and minority investments. Border’s well-rounded approach to legal practice is evident in the way she manages corporate reorganizations, joint ventures and general corporate matters for her private equity clients. Well-regarded for striking a delicate balance of legal and business advice, Border’s responsiveness and thoughtfulness have earned her the description of a “valuable powerhouse” by her clients.
In addition to her legal tasks, Border also co-chairs the recruiting and hiring in Boston, further demonstrating her commitment and versatility. The series on New England’s newest leaders in the law will continue to highlight key players shaping the region’s legal landscape.
