Working from an office in the city’s historic center, the team of approximately 50 attorneys handles private equity/M&A, capital markets, debt finance and tax matters, and advises on all aspects of domestic and cross-border insolvencies and financial restructurings. Kirkland's Munich team is fully integrated with the Firm's practices in London, the U.S. and Asia, giving clients access to Kirkland’s diversified, international resources. The attorneys in Munich are all German-qualified lawyers and fluent in both German and English, with significant experience abroad.

The Frankfurt office opened in 2024 with a team of leading attorneys focused on private equity/M&A transactions, public takeovers, carve-outs and joint ventures, as well as insolvencies and financial restructurings. It has a particular emphasis on the energy and infrastructure, technology and financial sectors. Our Frankfurt team comprises German-qualified lawyers who are fluent in both German and English, with substantial domestic and international experience. From our office in the city’s financial district, the team works closely with colleagues in Kirkland’s Munich office and across our global network in Europe, the U.S., Asia and the Middle East.
