Kirkland & Ellis has a 100-year history of providing exceptional service to clients
around the world in complex litigation, corporate and tax, intellectual property,
restructuring and counseling matters. The groundwork has been established
for another century of superior legal work and client service.
Kirkland's
principal goals are to provide the highest quality legal services available
anywhere; to be an instrumental part of each client's success; and to recruit,
retain and advance the brightest legal talent. Our Firm seeks long-term, partnering
relationships with clients, to the end of providing the best total solution
to the client's legal needs.
We manage our Firm as an integrated
whole. More than 1,400 lawyers in varying practice areas work together as multidisciplinary
teams to provide the full-service capabilities our clients need
for the legal matters they retain Kirkland to handle.
Kirkland's free-market
system allows each attorney to choose the practice areas and matters
on which they work. This entrepreneurial approach yields higher levels of commitment,
morale and results in all of our core practices:
Litigation: Kirkland has been recognized for its reputation as a Firm of trial lawyers (not
just litigators) by successfully representing companies involved in business-critical
lawsuits and class actions.
Corporate and Tax: Kirkland lawyers negotiate and close highly sophisticated transactions, representing
public and private companies and private equity investors in a broad range
of transactions.
Intellectual Property: Kirkland's intellectual property practice is one of the oldest such practices in
a full-service firm.
Restructuring: By combining sophisticated business advisory and crisis management skills with extensive
experience in U.S., UK and international insolvency matters, Kirkland's
restructuring lawyers navigate clients through the turmoil of situations involving
financially troubled companies. |
