Kirkland & Ellis M&A partners David Fox and Daniel Wolf, who joined the firm in 2009 from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, are taking the lead on two big turn-of-the-year transactions. 

The duo, whose expertise has paid substantial dividends for Kirkland amid a rough couple of years for transactional work, are leading a team of lawyers from the firm representing M&A adviser Duff & Phelps on its $665.5 million sale to a private equity consortium and rental car giant Avis Budget Group in connection with its $500 million purchase of car-sharing service Zipcar.
