Rahul Vashi Jumps from Kirkland to Gibson Dunn

Last month, Kirkland & Ellis corporate transactional partner Rahul Vashi co-led a team of lawyers representing Denver-based Ovintiv in its $4.275 billion acquisition of oil-related assets in the Permian Basin owned by EnCap Investments. A separate team of deal lawyers with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher also worked on the transaction for Ovintiv.

Vashi and the Gibson Dunn team worked well together. Apparently, very well.
