Less than a year after leaving Kirkland & Ellis for McDermott Will & Emery, LEONARD KLINGBAUM is on the move again, this time jumping to Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

Klingbaum, a finance and debt partner who came to McDermott in February along with former Kirkland private equity partner Stephanie McCann, parted ways with the firm earlier this week. Willkie Farr is bringing him on as a partner in the corporate and financial services department in New York, where he will focus on leveraged finance. News of the move was first reported by Above the Law.
