At Kirkland, 'Concierge' Service Aims to Ease Personal Distractions for Lawyers
The firm says the idea isn't "to provide a service so people can work all the time," but to help lawyers and senior staff make the most of the downtime they do have.

Need help moving houses? Running out of time to plan your family vacation, or pick up gifts for the holidays? Or, heaven forbid, what about replacing a lost wedding ring?
At Kirkland & Ellis, there's now a concierge for that.
The blue chip Am Law 100 firm this month rolled out a firmwide concierge service, dubbed “Kirkland Concierge,” giving lawyers and senior staff access to a group of on-call assistants who can help with (nearly) every personal task or errand a busy lawyer could think of. The firm's alumni—any lawyer who worked at the firm more than three months— will also have access to a pared-down version of the concierge service starting next year.
