Kahana Feld is an award-winning national law firm with over ten offices nationally and growing. We are seeking Appellate Partners that are looking for an opportunity to:
  • Become an Equity Partner at a fast-growing national firm that values teamwork, does not require a "book" of business to become an equity partner, and will help you market.
  • Work with great attorneys at a firm that prides itself on having a supportive culture.
  • Contribute to a diverse environment fundamentally built on respect for all team members and where mentorship and a positive culture are a priority.
  • Develop your career and make a difference in the world.

KF was recognized as a 2025 Top Workplace and awarded the Gold DEI Leadership Seal from the State Bar of California.

We have a unique business model designed to support the success of all our attorneys, from day one! Building a law practice with a great culture is the purpose of the firm.

Here are a few of the many things that make KF a great firm:
  • Excellent benefits (including recently added Paid Parental Leave).
  • Flexible PTO.
  • Leadership positions are open to all attorneys in every office.
  • Realistic partnership and equity partnership track. All KF attorneys are eligible for partnership, both equity and non-equity. Promotion is based on your ability to do great work and fit our culture, and not on business development.

  • Excellent references and a record of job stability.
  • Member of the California bar in good standing.
