Dechert hires Bradshaw away from Kirkland & Ellis

Tuesday, March 28, 2017
Opalesque Industry Update - Dechert LLP, a leading global law firm, announced today that Rob Bradshaw will join the firm as a corporate partner in the London office. He is currently a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP.

"Rob's arrival is the next big step in our strategic plan for growth in our London private equity practice," said Mark Thierfelder, chair of the firm's Corporate & Securities group. "The team is doing very sophisticated work in the UK and across the Continent. Rob will enhance our ability to serve our clients as we focus on their most complex matters."

Dechert's global corporate team has experienced significant expansion in its private equity, cross-border M&A and finance practices over the past few months. John Markland and Ross Allardice joined the London private equity and finance team in November and Philip Butler and David Miles joined the London finance team in December. The firm has also recently added corporate partners with significant cross-border M&A experience in Dubai, Beijing and Hong Kong.

Bradshaw focuses on corporate finance and debt finance transactions and has significant experience advising clients on complex, cross-border projects. He advises borrowers, including private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, and creditors, including financial institutions and funds, on bridge financing, leveraged and acquisition financing, and refinancing and restructurings.

"Our London office has seen dynamic growth over the past year," said Camille Abousleiman, a corporate partner who chairs Dechert's London office management committee. "The talent pool here is tremendous and we are very pleased with the type and quality of work provided to our clients."
