Trivia
Question
of
the
Day!
According
to
reporting
by
Roy
Strom,
after
hiring
almost
300
litigators
since
the
beginning
of
last
year,
Kirkland
&
Ellis
is
set
to
rake
in
how
much
money
for
their
litigation
business?
Hint:
“[Litigation]
was
always
a
good
business,
but
it
historically
had
been
lower
margin
than
our
transactional
business,”
Jon
Ballis,
the
firm’s
chairman,
said.
“Now
we’re
seeing
the
same
margins
as
on
the
transactional
side
and
it’s
become
a
great
business.”
