"Kirkland & Ellis just dropped a new track in Music City - and yes, it's a full-on Biglaw power ballad. The world's richest law firm is officially opening a Nashville office, calling the city "an ideal environment" for more "aggressive" growth, referring to the office launch as "part of its strategy to attract top legal talent and meet growing client demand" - which in Kirkland-speak translates to: we're not here for karaoke night, we're here for a multi-album deal."
"And that's just the opening act. Kirkland says around 10 litigators have joined or will join the office soon, with more partners and associates coming across both litigation and transactional practices. Nashville may be a secondary market, but this isn't just a satellite office for the firm - it's a full-stage production with backup singers, lighting, and a pyrotechnics budget."
Kirkland & Ellis is opening a Nashville office and frames the city as an ideal environment for aggressive growth to attract top legal talent and meet growing client demand. The office launch includes litigation partners Tara Blake, Matt Smith, Paul Rosenblatt, and Travis Swearingen relocating from Houston, the Bay Area, and D.C. About 10 litigators have joined or will join soon, with additional partners and associates expected across litigation and transactional practices. Chairman Jon Ballis called Nashville a vibrant, growing city with a strong talent pool and law school community. The move follows recent expansions into Salt Lake City, Miami, and Philadelphia.
