UK - BLP hires new PE head

McKeeve, who has worked in and around the private equity sector for 14 years, joins the firm following a period as an investment professional working with property mogul Robert Tchenguiz. Prior to this, he spent two years as partner with Kirkland & Ellis in its private equity practice. McKeeve will work alongside BLP corporate head at John Bennett.

The move is significant in that it comes at a difficult time for the legal sector generally, with many firms announcing cut-backs. Earlier this year BLP launched a new Moscow-based team as a result of a merger with Russia's largest full-service law firm Pepeliaev, Goltsblat & Partners. The deal marked the first time that a major overseas law firm has come together with a leading Russian legal team.
