Kirkland & Ellis Llp

With 41 H-1B applications on record, Kirkland & Ellis Llp is a mid-volume sponsor. The pattern is common at growing companies with specialty technical hiring needs or at established firms in industries with skill-supply gaps.

Approval profile is essentially perfect: 100% approval rate across the 41 applications on file. A near-100% approval rate over meaningful volume signals a competent immigration counsel and well-prepared filings — the company is rarely getting RFEs or denials. On wages, Kirkland & Ellis Llp pays a meaningful premium: $321,220 average wage versus a prevailing-wage benchmark of $196,012, roughly 64% above the DOL prevailing-wage estimate for the same roles. Premium pay is one of the credible signals that the company values H-1B labor on its merits rather than as a low-cost substitute.

Kirkland & Ellis Llp's top reported H-1B role is Associate ($286,324). Specific role mix shapes the company's sponsorship profile more than the headline volume number does — different roles carry different prevailing wages, different approval rates, and different visa-cap implications. Filings are spread across 6 states (CA, DC, IL, MA, NY) — a multi-state footprint that usually reflects either multiple office locations or remote-friendly hiring policy.
