America's Best Corporate Lawyers

In Corporate Board Member magazine's fourth annual survey, 2,152 directors identified the law firms they most admire, nationally and in 50 metropolitan areas. On the national rankings chart, "The Top 20 Firms," Kirkland & Ellis ranked eleventh.

When board members rated law firms within their hometowns, Kirkland tied for first place in Chicago.

In a special supplement to the survey, "The Human Faces of Corporate Law," Chicago IP partner Gregg Kirchhoefer is profiled in the article, "In the Eye of the Outsourcing Storm."
