U.S. law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges has hired banking and finance specialist Daniel Abercromby as a partner in Hong Kong from Kirkland & Ellis.

Abercromby’s practice focuses on cross-border leveraged and acquisition finance transactions, both public and private, together with the refinancing and restructuring of such transactions – ranging from covenant resets to debt-for-equity swaps. He acts for both borrowers – primarily private equity funds and their portfolio companies – and lenders – primarily direct-lending credit funds.

Abercromby spent nearly five years at Kirkland across its London and Hong Kong offices. Prior to that, he had a seven-year stint with Allen & Overy in London and Singapore.

With Abercromby’s arrival, Weil now has six partners in Hong Kong, including two banking partners.
