The quality and breadth of work keeps me at Kirkland. I focus on corporate M&A and private equity, which is very broad. I don’t think any two deals I’ve done have been the same, which I find interesting and rewarding. I’m able to do important work and have been given a lot of great opportunities. I’ve been encouraged to speak up in negotiations and lead negotiations with partners.
I’ve been involved in business development. I helped build an office. Houston is unique in that we're growing from the ground up. Management makes it clear that our growth is due to the hard work and contributions of every associate.
