Kirkland & Ellis New York litigation

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Dec 15, 2020 6:17 pm

I'm considering joining Kirkland & Ellis in New York as a litigator. How does litigating there compare to litigating at other good firms in New York? Is the culture different or the same compared to Kirkland & Ellis's corporate group? What do exit options look like? Thanks!

This is something I am also interested in. One thing I have heard is that the NY litigators do a lot of work for their corporate department and those clients. But I've heard great things about their West Coast offices and the tight-knit community there.

I wonder if any laterals can speak to their experience joining KE after working elsewhere?
