Kirkland’s Financial Institutions Group (“FIG”) provides transactional and regulatory advice to participants in the insurance, asset management and banking industries. FIG transactions are complex and require specialized knowledge and experience by practitioners who have dedicated their careers to particular industries and have the resources and capabilities to execute. Our Financial Institutions Group comprises attorneys in our Insurance Transactions & Regulatory, Investment Funds, and Banking & Financial Institutions Practice Groups. Our teams are coordinated under the FIG umbrella and integrated with Kirkland’s broader platform. We work together across disciplines and offices to generate exceptional results for our clients.

Our Investment Funds Practice Group represents the largest, most active investment funds practice of any law firm in the world. In addition to the comprehensive services we provide to investment fund clients, including private fund formation, liquidity solutions and investment management and regulatory counsel and support, we are market leaders in asset management M&A, including mergers and acquisitions involving asset managers and investment management firms, private equity firms, hedge funds, financial advisers, registered investment advisers and broker-dealers. Our team is also at the forefront of advising clients on strategic GP advisory matters, including advising on minority stake transactions and internal restructurings.
