Kirkland & Ellis, the top-ranked firm in the Am Law 100, has announced a record-setting round of partner promotions. The firm has promoted 205 lawyers to partner, effective from October 1, crossing the notable 200 mark. This represents a 6% increase over the previous year’s 193 promotions.
The increase, while significant, is a relatively smaller addition compared to last year’s jump of 28%. This indicates a trend in the firm’s growth strategy, as this is at least the seventh consecutive year that the firm increased its total number of partner promotions.
