Kirkland & Ellis Selected as One of the “World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors”
Kirkland & Ellis LLP has been named to the list of The 2013 World's Best Outsourcing Advisors for the Global Outsourcing 100® by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®).

IAOP announced the list for the The Global Outsourcing 100 Providers and the World's Best Outsourcing Advisors on February 18 at The 2013 Outsourcing World Summit®.
The 2013 Global Outsourcing 100 and The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors recognizes the world's best outsourcing service providers and advisors. These rankings are based on applications received and evaluated by an independent judging panel organized by IAOP. The 2013 panel is led by IAOP managing director of thought leadership, IAOP, Jagdish Dalal, COP and president of JDalal Associates, LLC.
"As applicants continually raise the bar and as the outsourcing industry continues to grow and mature in many markets, competition is tougher," said Mr. Dalal. "Being named to The Global Outsourcing 100 and The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors is a great achievement, particularly given the strong competition, and we are proud to recognize Kirkland & Ellis for their excellence."
"We at Kirkland are grateful for our sustained recognition by IAOP as a leader in the outsourcing industry," said Neil Hirshman, Kirkland partner.
Kirkland's Outsourcing Practice Group is an integrated team of lawyers across a number of Kirkland offices and all practice areas.
