KIRKLAND & ELLIS London posted a slight rise in revenue in 2004 to £29m as it broadened out from its private equity franchise and saw its restructuring business grow. Various mandates, such as Eurotunnel, underlined London's strategy of mirroring the US practice's four prongs of private equity, restructuring, litigation and IP. This continued with the June hire of Shearman & Sterling's Chris Colbridge, Kirkland's first UK pure litigation partner.
But London is still mostly a private equity outfit. Bain Capital gifted the firm a whole slew of deals in 2004, including Brenntag.
Germany, launched at the tail end of the year, made the firm's European ambitions clear. |
