With unprecedented demand last year, Kirkland & Ellis surged into $6 billion territory, growing to a staggering gross revenue of $6.042 billion, while average profits per partner reached more than $7.3 million.
For perspective, the firm’s 25% rise in gross revenue, a $1.2 billion jump last year, is akin to adding a chunk of revenue the size of another Am Law 50 firm, for instance, a Morrison Foerster, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, or Willkie, Farr & Gallagher.
