About the Firm
Associate Reviews
- “Very professional, friendly environment. Everyone is respectful and nice, but also fun. We are pretty social, especially in the Miami office.”
- “There's lots of social activities at your option to join. You can be as involved as you like. There are very regular office meetings, office lunches, office training seminars and … firmwide meetings and trainings where you can interact easily by Zoom. It is a very social office/firm culture.”
- “My firm has the ideal mix of social culture—there is room to be social and also no expectation that individuals will be forced to be social. I speak to other associates, partners and staff on a daily basis, but boundaries are respected by all. Professionally, I think the firm works hard to provide trainings and development opportunities on a regular basis, and each partner I have worked with has taken an interest in my career.”
- “Open, friendly, intellectually demanding.”

Getting Hired Here
- “Extremely competitive. K&K only hires fourth-year [or later] associates, there's a writing test, friends of the firm don't automatically get hired, etc.”
- “Writing sample requirement and multiple interview rounds—generally need top law school and clerkship experience or something unique—only hires mid-levels.”
- “The firm's hiring process is rigorous. It includes multiple rounds of interviews and a writing test. The firm values smart lawyers from good schools, self-starters, and those with an entrepreneurial spirit.”
