Kirkland & Ellis litigators in Chicago racked up an eye-popping 266 victories in civil litigation last year — an average of one win every business day.
The number reflects the breadth, depth and skill of the firm's nearly 300 Chicago litigators, who are known for their exacting preparation and forceful, even relentless approach. From defending long-time client BP PLC in massive litigation stemming from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, to beating back hundreds of products liability claims involving a contaminated drug, to winning $65 million for International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) in a contract dispute, Kirkland lawyers played for high stakes and won.
