Kirkland & Ellis has again upped the ante on its new partner class, announcing today that it has promoted 151 new partners in its offices across the globe—an increase from last year’s record 145.

The No. 1-ranked Am Law 100 firm has bolstered the size of its new partner class every year since 2017, when it promoted 97 partners and first took the top spot in the Am Law 200 rankings. That momentum carried in to subsequent years, with the firm promoting 122 in 2018 and 141 in 2019.
