11. Kirkland and Palantir launch a client-facing PE fundraising platform

Kirkland & Ellis and Palantir launched a proprietary enterprise platform for private equity fundraising, described as a fund formation engine. Kirkland says the platform will securely scale institutional knowledge, streamline complex legal workflows and support fund formation clients and investors across the private equity fundraising lifecycle. This is a major client-intelligence signal because it turns firm expertise, transaction relationships, decisions and obligations into a platformized client service layer.
