A formidable advocate in complex commercial litigation

Our company faced a high-stakes contractual dispute that threatened significant financial and reputational damage. We engaged Stephen Patton at Kirkland & Ellis, and his nearly two decades of experience were immediately evident. He masterfully guided us through the intricacies of the case, combining his deep knowledge of commercial litigation with a strategic, pragmatic approach. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in Bet-the-Company litigation was well-earned. Stephen was not only a brilliant legal tactician but also a steady, communicative partner who kept us informed and empowered. The positive resolution he secured was a direct result of his exceptional skill and professionalism.
