Attorneys and staff from our Chicago office took teamwork to the next level at last weekend’s @UrbanInitiative 2025 Corporate Challenge Cup in support of delivering innovative sports programs that positively impact education, health and social outcomes. Team Kirkland faced off against other law firms and corporations in the annual soccer tournament, which we’ve proudly sponsored for many years.
Today is the final day to apply for One Summer Chicago!
Don’t miss your chance to get paid, build skills, and make memories this summer. 📲#OneSummerChicago #TeenSummerJobs #ChicagoTeen
Think back to your first time as a team captain. How did it feel? Now imagine if there was a program designed to help you harness those emotions and turn them into leadership strengths.
That’s the power of our Take the Lead Program. 💪🏽
