Jenner & Block has appointed corporate lawyer Kyle Gann as a partner in the firm’s Chicago office. Gann will be a member of the Private Equity and Mergers and Acquisitions Practices.
With a decade of corporate transactional experience representing both premier private equity groups and public companies in a broad range of matters, he will provide additional bench strength to the firm's growing Corporate Department.
Gann's practice includes counselling his clients on a variety of corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, joint ventures, divestitures and general corporate matters. His experience crosses a wide array of asset classes, including REITs, infrastructure and the technology sectors.
"We are pleased to have Kyle join Jenner & Block," says Managing Partner Terrence J Truax. "He is a strategic and cultural fit. He will serve our sophisticated clients who understand that experienced and battle-tested lawyers are needed to get their deals done and done right."
Gann joins the firm from Kirkland & Ellis, where he was a corporate partner. He is the eighth lateral transactional partner to join Jenner & Block in 2016.
"Adding Kyle to the practice enhances the depth and breadth of our team and demonstrates the firm's commitment to growing the Corporate practice," says firm-wide Corporate Chair Joseph P Gromacki. "He will help us to strengthen our brand as a best-in-class corporate practice that serves both large cap and middle market clients with excellence and cost-efficiency."
