Founded in 1964 by Wilford (Bill) W. Kirton, Jr.,
the firm has enjoyed steady growth for fifty years.
Oscar W. McConkie, Jr., joined in 1967. The firm was
originally formed as an independent legal advisor for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As the work
increased, the firm grew and had several name changes
before and after 1964, but came to settle on Kirton
McConkie in 1994.
While the Church remains a large institutional client,
the firm has always had an eye toward growing a multifaceted
clientele to ensure its
attorneys were challenged to provide
the most advanced counsel
possible for all clients. From the
earliest days, Kirton McConkie
has had a commitment to provide
high-quality, cost-effective solutions
to help clients achieve their
organizational objectives, to have a
workplace where all are respected
and find personal satisfaction and
to encourage excellence in all
aspects, professionally and personally.
The depth and breadth of
the firm’s combined experience and
success underscores this vision.
