The world's highest-grossing law firm has promoted what it says is its largest-ever class of new partners: 141 in one go.

Kirkland & Ellis announced the names of its newly minted partners on Wednesday, distributing a list that would rival or dwarf the total partnership at plenty of sizeable firms.

Like many of the largest law firms, Kirkland has had large partner classes in the past. But according to a firm representative, this one tops the list.
