Let’s start 2022 with this question: Can anything stop the juggernaut that is Kirkland & Ellis?

In the last few years the firm has defied expectations, with revenues doubling since 2016 to close in on $5 billion and average profits per equity partner doubling over 10 years to reach an eye-watering $6.2 million. It has achieved double-digit revenue growth for five consecutive years. If it continues at this pace the firm will soon be ranked No. 1 globally for both revenue and PEP.
