China Law & Practice Awards

China Law & Practice recognized Kirkland’s work on its Private Equity Deal of the Year at the Seventh Annual China Law & Practice Awards ceremony held in Beijing on September 12, 2013. The award reflects the Firm’s work on the $3.7 billion privatization of Shanghai-based advertising company Focus Media, which at the time of its announcement was the largest-ever leveraged buyout in China.

The China Law & Practice Awards recognize innovation, complexity and market impact, and are awarded to firms whose work has “influenced the legal market and benefited the quality and development of China’s legal landscape.”
