Freshfields US Private Capital Expansion Continues With Kirk...

Mak joins the firm's Silicon Valley office in Redwood City, California, from Kirkland & Ellis, where she was promoted to partner in 2021. Her hiring reflects the London-founded firm's commitment to achieve an elite status for its US private capital practices, U.S. private capital head Ian Bushner said in an interview. "We have an elite private capital business in Europe, Asia, the Middle East—the rest of the world. We have the capability to do elite deals in the U.S., but we needed something to push for the scale of the private capital business in the U.S. to match our scale and ambition outside the U.S.," Bushner said.
