Kirkland & Ellis LLP
Kirkland & Ellis LLP made 52 filings covering 74 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $310,000 a year. 46 of those 52 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.
Green-card sponsorship
Kirkland & Ellis LLP filed 7 permanent labour certifications between 2026-01-07 and 2026-05-22, of which 7 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
