Description:

Kaplan Kirsch, LLP is accepting applications from current judicial law clerks to join as Associates in Fall 2026. We're looking for highly motivated, creative, and collaborative attorneys to join our unique law firm. We are not like other private law firms. A majority of our clients are states, local governments, Native American tribes, airports, transit agencies, and non-profit organizations. Operating outside the "Big Law" model, our collegial and collaborative firm enables our Associate Attorneys to gain momentum in their careers and further their professional development through meaningful involvement on public and private projects that benefit communities across the United States. Why consider us? We are a fast-growing national boutique law firm devoted exclusively to helping public and private clients solve problems involving the nation's most complex and high-profile projects in real estate, land use, infrastructure, project financing, airports, rail, transit, renewable energy, environmental, conservation, and tribal law. Our litigators practice at the highest levels, including litigating high-stakes trials, appeals, cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, and before administrative tribunals. Associates will work closely with our seasoned lawyers—many of whom have served at the highest levels of government and the nonprofit world—and gain hands-on experience quickly. Our firm prides itself on complex and collaborative work that does not always fit neatly within traditional practice group boundaries, and associates will regularly work with colleagues across multiple practices and sectors within the Firm. Many of our practice groups, partners, and associates have been recognized by leading legal directories such as Chambers & Partners, Best Lawyers, and Law360, reflecting our Firm's outsized achievements and national recognition. The work we do is rewarding, and we are tremendously proud of the superior client service our team is able to provide. We focus on our colleagues as well as our clients. We believe that professional life can be more enjoyable and rewarding when you work with a great team, know that your contributions make a difference, and can pursue a fulfilling career without compromising personal responsibilities and choices. We are also proud to be recognized for creating opportunities for our associates to learn and grow. Associates at Kaplan Kirsch are uniquely positioned to have a significant impact from day one, while also gaining valuable experience and training. We believe in maintaining a clear, supportive path toward partnership, and our collective mentoring approach has resulted in a significant number of internal promotions.
