250 incoming associates. Five jurisdictions. One bar prep partner.
Firm Pass is the enterprise BARBRI license built for how Kirkland qualifies talent: every associate, every jurisdiction, every year, on one platform with a dedicated success manager.
Reserve a Kirkland briefingBar prep timing collides with everything else Kirkland is running.
Each summer, Kirkland onboards more than 250 new associates across NY, CA, DC, TX, IL, and the UK. Today, every associate hunts down their own BARBRI subscription and expenses it back to the firm one seat at a time. With Kirkland's London growth and an increasing dual-qualifying pipeline through the SQE, the cost of running 250 individual contracts has overtaken the cost of running one. Firm Pass replaces individual subscriptions with one Kirkland-wide license, a single account team, and a cohort visibility dashboard for Talent Development.
Multi-state coverage, one SOW
NY, CA, DC, TX, IL out of the box, plus a UK Bridge for SQE-track trainees and a NY parallel for dual-qualifying associates. One contract replaces five.

Enrol the entire incoming class in one CSV. Personalized schedules per jurisdiction, one-tap reschedule for deferred starts, no per-associate paperwork.
Dedicated success manager

“We consolidated five states of bar prep onto Firm Pass in a single onboarding cycle. The Talent Development dashboard is the part our partners did not know they were missing.”
