Steele joins Kirkland & Ellis

Steele joins from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer where he has worked since 2008, and was named partner in April 2012.

In 2010, Steele spent a year in Goldman Sachs' leveraged finance team.

In his new role, Steele will continue to advise private equity sponsors, credit funds and financial institutions in areas including cross-border deals, leveraged buyouts, special situations, loan portfolio acquisitions and restructurings.

Steele's appointment comes shortly after Kirkland & Ellis named Joerg Kirchner, previously at Latham & Watkins, as partner in the firm's corporate practice group in Munich.
