Kirkland & Ellis LLP has made a significant move in the German legal market by hiring Tobias Larisch, a prominent Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) partner from Latham & Watkins LLP. The lateral hire is part of Kirkland’s broader effort to expand its presence in Germany, specifically through its newly established office in Frankfurt, the country’s financial hub.
Larisch, who has an impressive track record in advising major deals in the energy and infrastructure sectors, previously served as the regional chair of Latham & Watkins’ corporate department across continental Europe. His transition to Kirkland & Ellis marks a notable shift, reflecting the firm’s intentions to bolster its transaction advisory capabilities in Germany. Larisch’s expertise will be instrumental as Kirkland aims to solidify its position in Europe’s competitive legal landscape.
