Brief description of recruiting policy or additional comments

KTBS Law LLP is a boutique firm with limited hiring needs. Nevertheless, KTBS is always looking for outstanding applicants with a high degree of academic achievement, impeccable writing skills, excellent oral advocacy abilities, a positive and pleasant presence, maturity, the ability to work both independently and as a member of a team, the ability to handle substantial responsibility in a fast-paced environment, and a genuine interest in learning our field of practice.  KTBS typically hires new attorneys from among those individuals who have served as “summer associates” with the firm following their first or second year of law school.  KTBS is committed to educating its associates not only by conferring on them significant responsibilities, but also by providing one-on-one mentoring and access to educational seminars.
