Serving our world.
Collaboration is core to Kirkland’s culture, and we live out this value every day in our work for clients, our interactions with each other, and our service to the communities where we live and work.
As a leading global law firm, we believe that giving back is more than a responsibility — it’s a true privilege. And we’re proud to collectively devote our time, talent, resources and heart to the following: pro bono legal work; diversity, equity and inclusion; wellbeing; and sustainability.
While individual commitment is important, we know that working together is the most powerful driver of positive change. We’re honored to contribute to a better future, and we invite you to join us in the effort.

Pro bono legal work
We're passionate about upholding justice and advancing civil rights by providing legal services without charge to individuals and organizations that cannot afford counsel. Our work includes guiding asylum seekers through immigration proceedings, protecting voting rights, providing legal guidance to nonprofits around the world, fighting for gender equity and much more.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
We're committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, both within our own organization and throughout the legal profession. Our Firmwide culture celebrates differences — race, gender, sexuality, ability, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and more — and fosters belonging so that we present the best legal talent and deliver the highest-quality service to our clients.
Wellbeing
We're focused on supporting the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of our attorneys and staff. The Kirkland Wellbeing Program — one of the industry’s most comprehensive — educates personnel, destigmatizes discussion of mental health topics, and provides resources and support.
Sustainability
As one of the world’s largest international law firms, we recognize our responsibility to reduce our environmental impact on a global scale. We pursue initiatives to operate more sustainably and help our clients navigate the opportunities and challenges within the increasingly critical areas of sustainability, the environment and ESG.
