Kirkland & Ellis is pleased to announce that the Firm has been named to The 2020 Global Outsourcing 100 list of the world's best outsourcing service providers and advisors by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®). Kirkland has been named to the list each year since the list's inception in 2007.
"Buyers understand there are hundreds of qualified service providers and advisors out there, but what they need to understand now is what makes each one exceptional," said IAOP CEO, Debi Hamill. "The Global Outsourcing 100 list has done just that. We're proud to recognize Kirkland for being among these organizations this year."
The Global Outsourcing 100 is a special advertising feature produced by IAOP, and was announced on Feb. 18 at the 2020 Outsourcing World Summit®. The list is based on applications received, and judging is based on a rigorous scoring methodology that includes an independent review by an independent panel of IAOP customer members with extensive experience in selecting outsourcing service providers and advisors for their organizations.
"It is an honor for our outsourcing group to be recognized among the best in the industry," said Neil Hirshman, partner in Kirkland's Outsourcing Practice Group. "We are proud of this recognition and our longstanding partnership with the IAOP."
Kirkland's Outsourcing Practice Group is an integrated team of lawyers across a number of Kirkland offices and practice areas.
"Our inclusion in this prestigious list for the past fourteen consecutive years underscores our outsourcing group's ability to consistently provide excellent solutions to our clients as they navigate matters driven by ever-changing innovation and technological opportunities," said Gregg Kirchhoefer, partner in Kirkland's Outsourcing Practice Group.
Kirkland's outsourcing lawyers take an active role with the IAOP. Mr. Hirshman is founder and co-chair of the IAOP's Chicago Chapter and Northern California Chapter, and is the Chair of the Executive Committee of its Strategic Advisory Board. Mr. Kirchhoefer is a member of the IAOP Leadership Hall of Fame.
