Kirkland & Ellis, an Am Law 100 firm known for robust lateral movement that posted big gross revenue and profits per partner figures in 2014, saw two partners depart its ranks even as it added another.
PETER MASSUMI, a corporate partner with Kirkland in Los Angeles, recently left the firm to form his own shop Massumi + Consoli in the city, according to records on file with The State Bar of California. MICHAEL PERL, a restructuring partner at Kirkland in Chicago who began his career as an associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, has been hired as senior corporate counsel at Deerfield, Illinois-based fertilizer giant CF Industries.
