Kirkland & Ellis LLP has created a plaintiffs’ side trial group and plans to substantially increase the number of plaintiffs’ cases it takes on, many of which will be performed on a contingency fee basis, the firm announced Wednesday. The firm, founded in Chicago, said Wednesday that its new plaintiffs’ side trial group will be made up of its existing litigation attorneys.
