Jennifer Gasser joins Paul Weiss as Partner, Energy and Infrastructure M&A
Previously Partner at Kirkland & Ellis
Context
Third Kirkland partner to defect to Paul Weiss's new Houston office, following Sean Wheeler (who advised on Marathon Oil's $22.5B sale to ConocoPhillips) and Debbie Yee (who advised on TPG Rise Climate's $2.2B acquisition of Altus Power). A striking talent raid on Kirkland's energy M&A bench.
