Deliberately and determinedly focused on borrower-side mandates, Kirkland & Ellis International LLP remains a tour-de-force for many of the world’s largest financial sponsors seeking to execute high value and often very complex leveraged finance deals. Stephen Lucas and Ian Barratt, who joined the firm at the end of 2023 from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, are two of the most experienced practitioners in the market and continue to drive growth in the practice, both on new money and refinancing deals. As well as his vibrant fee-earning practice, Chris Shield has also recently taken on increased management commitments within the team, a reflection of his market profile. New York and UK-qualified partner Evgeny Zborovsky excels in incorporating US terms in the European market and is consequently a very popular choice for clients seeking to exact the most flexibility across both big-ticket and mid-market deals. Daniel Borg, Kirsteen Nicol, Sinead O’Shea and Vanessa Xu are also key members of the team.
