Corporate Board Member magazine asked 1,390 directors to name the law firms they most admire, nationally and in 25 metropolitan areas, for their sixth annual survey, "America's Best Corporate Law Firms" (formerly "America's Best Corporate Lawyers"). Kirkland ranked eighth nationwide on the list, "The Top 20 Firms" and has ranked among the top firms nationally for six consecutive years.

Board members also rated law firms within their hometowns and Kirkland was named one of the top two firms in Chicago. This is the sixth year in a row that Kirkland has placed in the top five law firms in Chicago.
