Partners at Am Law 100 law firms initiated a drive this week to raise funds for charitable donations to support on-the-ground relief efforts in Israel after Hamas’ deadly attack over the weekend reignited military conflict that has killed 1,200 Israelis.
By Friday morning, individual partners at Kirkland & Ellis pledged a donation total of more $1.5 million, sources at the firm confirmed to The American Lawyer. That’s an increase over the $450,000 that had been pledged by Thursday morning, according to an email that was obtained by The American Lawyer.
