Life Sciences & Pharmaceutical Sector (International & Cross-Border) - USA
What the team is known for
Kirkland & Ellis is frequently recognised as a global powerhouse supporting multinational clients in a wide range of practice areas. Its rapid expansion has seen it increase in prominence in European and Asian jurisdictions, including China, Germany and the UK, now offering an excellent platform across the USA and Europe with a strong track record for both inbound and outbound transactions. It continues to handle some of the most complex and sophisticated cross-border transactions and contentious proceedings.
The firm has built up strong experience of deals within the life sciences sector, largely acting for investors and a huge number of global private equity funds, on transactional work involving the industry. The firm also acts for some major pharmaceutical companies, helping them to coordinate M&A, IP disputes and other contentious work with cross-border elements from the USA.
