David Richardson
Our firm engaged Monica Shilling at Kirkland & Ellis to assist with the formation and structuring of a new private equity fund focused on technology investments. With her three decades of experience, particularly in leveraged buyouts and private equity law, she was the ideal counsel. Monica’s deep knowledge of securities regulations and the intricate details of fund agreements was immediately apparent. She expertly navigated the complex capital markets considerations and provided strategic, commercially sound advice that went beyond mere legal compliance. Her recognition in these practice areas is well-deserved. The final documents were impeccably drafted, protecting our interests while facilitating smooth investor onboarding. The only slight critique, and reason for not being a perfect five stars, is that during peak deal periods, response times from her team could occasionally lag by a day, though Monica herself was always ultimately accessible for critical matters. Overall, her blend of Georgetown-honed expertise and practical Los Angeles market insight was invaluable. We achieved a far stronger fund structure thanks to her counsel.
