Two former Kirkland & Ellis attorneys have joined Latham & Watkins in the firm’s Boston and Chicago offices, Latham announced Monday.

Neal Reenan and Ian Bushner, who started Monday and are both based out of Boston and Chicago, joined the firm as partners in the corporate department and members of the mergers and acquisitions and private equity practices. Prior to the move, Reenan was a partner at Kirkland for nearly 17 years. Bushner was at Kirkland for six years and was a founding partner of the firm’s Boston office.
