There’s a mix of practices represented in Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer’s 12-partner Chicago office, with one notable exception: The firm’s corporate and finance group counted no Windy City-based lawyers.

That changed this week, when the Washington, D.C.-based firm added longtime Kirkland & Ellis partner Carol Anne Huff as a partner. In her 22 years at Kirkland, Chicago-based Huff represented private equity firms and public companies in capital markets transactions, mergers and acquisitions matters and other deals, as well as in restructurings.
