While law firm office openings in Salt Lake City have slowed, Big Law’s commitment—and business opportunity—has been on display lately.

The city’s biggest, recent law firm entrant, Kirkland & Ellis, this week doubled down on the market, touting a new and expanded office downtown that the No. 1-ranked Am Law 100 firm said will “further cement our place in the city.” The firm is now the third-largest law firm in Salt Lake, based on attorney head count in 2022, according to ALM data, with only regional firms Parsons Behle & Latimer and Kirton McConkie ahead.
