Kirkland is deploying its extensive trial and litigation resources to form a group of some of its leading trial lawyers to help clients protect their rights and monetize their assets in plaintiff commercial matters — with the Firm’s full litigation resources and support behind it.

Jim Hurst, one of the leading trial lawyers in the country and a member of Kirkland’s Global Management Executive Committee, added: “We have a diverse, dynamic and incredibly talented group of trial lawyers at the Firm. They are hungry to try more cases, and we view this as a way to open our resources to new and existing clients to monetize their litigation assets through creative fee arrangements on the plaintiff side.”

For more than 20 years, Kirkland has been a market leader on alternative fee arrangements. Mobilizing the Firm’s resources and litigators to try more of these plaintiff cases will reinvigorate the Firm’s special fee arrangement program, said Reed Oslan, a litigation partner and chair of Kirkland’s Special Fee Arrangement Committee. “We are perfectly positioned to partner with our clients and share risk on plaintiff cases. I’m incredibly excited about the opportunities ahead.”
