After opening a San Francisco office five years ago, Kirkland & Ellis last week ventured 30 minutes away and set up a shop in Palo Alto, Calif. It's the firm's sixth U.S. office and its third on the West Coast. The move is driven by the growth of Kirkland's Bay Area practice. The San Francisco office, which launched with 12 lawyers, now has over 100, including 40 IP specialists. The Palo Alto office has about 15 lawyers, and plans are to grow the office by another five lawyers in the near future.

After opening a San Francisco office five years ago, Kirkland & Ellis last week ventured 30 minutes away and set up a shop in Palo Alto, Calif. It’s the firm’s sixth U.S. office and its third on the West Coast.
The move, the firm says, is driven by the growth of Kirkland’s San Francisco Bay Area practice; business has surged to the point that it needs a larger core of lawyers in the region to draw from.
