Kirkland Ranks #1 on The Lawyer’s 2025 Global Litigation Top 50

For the eighth year in a row, Kirkland took the #1 spot on The Lawyer’s “Global Litigation Top 50,” which ranks the largest firms in the world by litigation and arbitration revenues and tracks litigation headcount trends in key markets. Kirkland has been ranked annually since 2009.

Renowned for our experience in complex litigation and arbitration, Kirkland’s nearly 1,200 litigators anticipate our clients’ needs and outperform their expectations. We believe that the best litigation results — whether achieved in court or across the bargaining table — occur when lawyers are fully prepared to try the case through verdict. Our focus on trial-readiness drives successful and more cost-efficient results for clients, as critical issues are identified early and then used to maximum advantage in the litigation and negotiation processes.
