Kelleher + Holland
Kelleher + Holland is a full-service law firm headquartered in North Barrington, Illinois, with additional offices in Waukegan, Hinsdale, Spring Grove, and Crystal Lake, Illinois, and Naples, Florida. Founded in 2020 by Andrew J. Kelleher, Jr. and Robert A. Holland, the firm provides "360 Degrees of Legal Solutions" to individuals, families, and businesses, building long-term client relationships grounded in accessible, comprehensive legal guidance. As a member of Mackrell International, a global network of independent law firms, K+H also connects clients to trusted legal resources around the world.
Purpose
Kelleher + Holland exists to give clients clarity and confidence in the face of life's most consequential decisions, protecting families, businesses, and legacies through comprehensive legal solutions across estate planning, corporate law, litigation, real estate, and more. The firm believes that great client outcomes start with a great internal culture: attorneys and staff who feel valued, supported, and genuinely connected to one another do their best work for the people who rely on them. That belief shapes everything from how the firm develops talent to how it shows up in the community. K+H was built to be more than a law firm; it is a place where careers grow long term, where team members are trusted to take initiative, and where the relationships built internally translate directly into the relationships the firm builds with clients. This is why K+H continues to invest in mentorship, recognize individual contributions, and create a workplace where people are proud of the work they do and the way they do it.
Vision
K+H envisions a firm where growth never comes at the expense of connection. As the firm expands, adding offices, welcoming new attorneys, and taking on new practice areas, the goal is to preserve the same collaborative, people-first culture that has defined it since day one. The firm sees a future where every employee, whether working from a home office or a satellite location, feels equally part of the K+H community, supported by the same recognition, development opportunities, and leadership access as their in-office colleagues. K+H is working toward a workplace where career paths are visible and achievable, where interns and law clerks can see a real future at the firm, and where paralegals are supported in pursuing law school if that is their ambition. The vision is a firm that continues to earn trust, both from the clients it serves and the team members who choose to build their careers here, for decades to come.
Mission
Kelleher + Holland's mission is to deliver comprehensive, "360 Degrees of Legal Solutions" to every client, guiding individuals, families, and businesses through estate planning, asset protection, corporate matters, litigation, real estate, and more with clarity and care. The firm is committed to making sophisticated legal strategies accessible and understandable, whether that means walking a family through a trust structure, helping a business navigate a transaction, or guiding a client through a complex litigation matter with confidence. K+H pursues this mission by staying current on evolving law through ongoing continuing education and professional development, by building long-term relationships rather than one-time transactions, and by showing up in the communities it serves through educational seminars, sponsorships, and civic partnerships. Across six offices in Illinois and Florida, the firm holds itself to one standard: give every client the same level of attention, skill, and responsiveness, regardless of which office they walk into or which attorney they work with. That consistency is what K+H means when it says clients get 360 degrees of coverage, not a narrow slice of help.
Additional Culture Details
K+H's culture shows up in the details. The firm marks anniversaries with companywide luncheons, celebrates holidays with its own traditions like a Halloween costume contest and St. Patrick's Day scratch-off prizes, and hosts Employee Appreciation Day breakfasts. Recognition runs deep: a peer-nominated program honors a standout employee annually with a cash prize, and work anniversaries bring milestone gifts. Giving back is built into the calendar through the bimonthly "We Give, You Give" program and the firm's annual Car + Dog Show, with proceeds going to a different local charity each year. Remote and hybrid employees are kept connected through Owl camera setups at gatherings, inclusion in firm-wide Town Halls, and periodic visits to other offices. Even wellness has a personal touch, with a health and wellness stipend available for employees who do not use the firm's on-site gym discount. Together, these small, consistent gestures are what make K+H feel less like an employer and more like a community.
Values
- 360 Degrees of Service
- K+H's breadth across multiple practice areas means clients get one firm capable of handling whatever comes their way, rather than being sent elsewhere for pieces of their legal needs. Membership in Mackrell International extends this further, connecting clients to trusted legal partners around the world when a matter crosses borders.
