    Why talk to Evan Fox?

    Ryan McNish joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP's Chicago office in the Corporate group.

    I can't speak highly enough of Evan and his work ethic. He is diligent, communicative, hard-working and personable. From strategy, to preparation, to execution, we were in constant contact throughout the entire process. More than anything, however, I appreciated his practical and candid career advice. He has his finger on the pulse of the market and fully understands the individual goals of each client. Truly top notch.
