“The culture we have tried to create at Kobre & Kim is one that encourages people to speak for themselves and to be vocal about their opinions. We know that the best ideas and strategies do not always come from the top down but from all directions. This is important because we are ultimately in the business of advocating for our client’s position.”
–Michael S. Kim, firm co-founder
Our highly selective, program offers recent graduates hands-on experience supporting attorneys with essential casework. Litigation Assistants manage case files, assist with court filings, coordinate discovery materials, and help prepare for hearings and trials—all while gaining valuable training and exposure to complex litigation.
Litigation Assistants commit to a minimum of two years, working closely with attorneys from case investigation through litigation. After the first year, they may advance to roles like Senior Analyst or Specialist, focusing on legal strategy and specific practice areas. Many bring multilingual abilities that can be used in a business setting — Arabic, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish — are not required but strongly encouraged.
