KBT&F received a score of 4.903 (out of 5.0), ranking the firm #4 nationally (up from #29 in 2008) and #3 in New York City.  KBT&F received the highest national ranking of any New York firm.  The rankings are based on feedback from all 15 members of our 2009 summer associate class and are measured against responses from 4,804 law students at 124 law firms throughout the country. According to The American Lawyer, scores are based on responses in several subject areas, including the interest level of the work, training and guidance, interactions with partners, how the firm rated overall as a place to work, and the respondents’ inclination to accept a job if one were offered.
