Careers
Kellogg Hansen attracts and retains the finest legal talent to join us in a high-energy and challenging practice that encourages teamwork and camaraderie. From its inception, the firm has been based on the idea that, if given the opportunity, talented young attorneys not only can handle substantial responsibility but also can produce outstanding results. In addition, by the end of the year, associates — including many who started at the firm in 2021 or 2022 — took or defended more than 50 depositions. These cases are not exceptions. We are confident that the opportunities available at this firm — to play an integral part in challenging litigation — are unrivaled anywhere else in the country.
