PROFILE |
 |
Kirkland & Ellis is ready to go to court. The litigious law firm -- home to former independent council Kenneth Starr -- has been in the thick of several big courtroom battles, including defending Brown & Williamson Tobacco (it settled with the state of Minnesota for $6.5 billion in 1998). It serves other clients (General Motors, Dow Corning, Motorola) in areas such as intellectual property, antitrust, mergers and acquisitions, tort litigation, and employee benefits. Kirkland & Ellis has nearly 800 lawyers in four US offices and one London office. Founded in 1908, the firm rose to prominence with the free speech and libel law strides made by firm namesakes Weymouth Kirkland and Howard Ellis.
