Kirkland & Ellis has beefed up its Munich office with the hire of Linklaters Oppenhoff & Radler partner, Bernd Meyer-Lowy, as the firm looks to build up its restructuring practice in Germany.

Meyer-Lowy, who was a restructuring specialist in Linklaters’ German insolvency and restructuring practice, will be joined by another restructuring partner in April, who is yet to be named.
