Kirkland has
one of the most active and highly regarded private equity practices
encompassing all aspects of this rapidly changing field. Our team of private
equity attorneys has extensive experience in the formulation of innovative
strategies for structuring acquisitions and financings of private and public
companies, negotiated as well as unsolicited acquisitions, going private
transactions, stock-for-stock acquisitions, spin-off transactions, and
acquisitions of minority interests. Kirkland's
private equity practice involves representing clients in many different
industries, including buyers and sellers of both private and public
companies. We also represent multiple private equity investors in “club”
transactions.
To the extent requested by the client, private equity transactions can
involve a comprehensive due diligence investigation of the target company. Kirkland is able to draw
upon its experience in the areas of finance, real estate, environmental law,
tax law, labor and ERISA law, intellectual property law and other
concentrated areas as appropriate to help the client both assess the target
company’s value and properly structure the transaction. Kirkland's
tax practice in particular is nationally recognized, and Kirkland corporate lawyers are able to call
upon this tax experience to develop tax-efficient acquisition structures.
