Despite a worldwide decline in dealmaking, Kirkland & Ellis have retained their prime position in Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). This law firm has successfully managed nearly $265 billion worth of deals this year.
“We try to find that sweet spot of doing the most significant deals and doing them in volume. The sky is not falling here,” commented Kirkland partner Daniel Wolf to Reuters.
Despite the global slump, Kirkland has secured first place in the London Stock Exchange’s rankings of M&A legal advisers. Although global activity in M&A has plummeted to a 10-year low, Wolf remained confident in the firm’s performance this year, branding it as “pretty impressive” from an historical perspective.
Clearly, despite a more challenging global environment for dealmaking, firms like Kirkland & Ellis are able to navigate these challenges and continue to deliver impressive performance for their clients. The firm’s ability to keep executing high volumes of significant deals under these circumstances underlines the depth of expertise and strategic acumen that reside within its stellar M&A team.
