Recognized in Ones to Watch since 2026

Our company retained Malu Malhotra at Kirkland & Ellis to handle a high-stakes breach of contract and business tort case against a former strategic partner. While her official recognition in Commercial Litigation is noted for 2026, her preparation and strategic acumen were immediately evident, reflecting the caliber one expects from a Penn Law graduate and a firm of this stature. Malu dissected the complex financial and operational intricacies of our case with remarkable clarity, constructing a compelling narrative for potential litigation that ultimately drove a very favorable pre-trial settlement. Her grasp of New York commercial law and procedural tactics was impressive. The one area where our experience wasn't flawless was in communication cadence; during particularly intense phases, there were occasional delays in email responses, which our internal team sometimes found stressful. That said, when we did connect, her attention was complete and her advice was incisive. We felt strategically well-represented by a sharp, forward-thinking attorney who clearly understands how to leverage the courtroom to achieve business objectives. We would confidently recommend her for sophisticated commercial litigation matters.
