Lindsay Flora, a former partner at Kirkland & Ellis with a specialty in debt finance, has joined Dechert, praising its culture and saying her financing experience complements the firm’s strong private-equity practice.

Flora said she wasn’t looking to move on from Kirkland, which she joined as a partner in early 2017 after just over eight years at Cahill, Gordon & Reindel. Markets have been strong, she said, and earlier this year she worked on a rewarding assignment representing Cerberus Capital Management in its acquisition of Sparton Corp., a high-tech manufacturer.
