Career Stories

By empowering associates to shape their futures, Kirkland creates a culture of openness and opportunity.

Kirkland believes strongly in early responsibility. From day one, I’ve been staffed on assignments or deals directly with partners.

I’ve been able to support clients in applying for asylum and immigration relief, which is particularly significant to me as a child of immigrants.

Kirkland is a teamwork-oriented place where everyone’s ideas are important and valued.

Kirkland facilitates creative thinking and problem-solving early on.

The learning curve is incredibly steep, but in the best possible way… You can take as much responsibility as you want. You do have to earn it — and then you can take it.

Our in-house training provides the opportunity to learn from the best in the industry, which in turn enables us to benefit from early courtroom experience.

Kirkland’s a place where I have always felt supported. People are invested in my growth, development and journey to become the best lawyer I can be. That type of support is just invaluable.

Kirkland takes as much pride in its attorneys’ wellbeing, positive attitudes and general kindness as it does in closing deals and winning trials.

At Kirkland, you are in charge of your career and your trajectory; you can actively direct your path.
