Alexandra (Alex) Farmer leads the Sustainability Practice Group at Kirkland & Ellis LLP and is widely recognized as a leading advisor at the forefront of ESG, climate and sustainable finance. She advises premier private equity sponsors, global asset managers and multinational companies on the most consequential transactions, fundraises and governance decisions shaped by rapidly evolving sustainability risk and regulatory regimes. Alex’s practice sits at the center of how sustainability considerations are reshaping global capital allocation. She counsels clients on multibillion-dollar fund formations, complex M&A transactions and portfolio-wide strategies, integrating ESG and climate considerations into investment processes, deal execution and long-term value creation. She has deep experience in energy, infrastructure, consumer, industrials and food and agriculture sectors, where regulatory change and investor expectations are driving structural shifts in strategy and risk. Known for combining legal, commercial and technical fluency, Alex translates complex and often conflicting regulatory, investor and stakeholder demand into clear, actionable strategies. She regularly advises boards, senior executives and investment committees on high-stakes decisions, including ESG integration in fund formation, cross-border climate disclosure regimes, shareholder activism and ESG-related litigation and enforcement risk.
