OUR TRAINING PROGRAMME

Every lawyer at Kimathi & Partners was trained here.

We recruit law students two years before they are called to the Bar, and train them through a selective programme. Applications are open all year.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

We look for people of strong ethics, intellect, good manners and thoughtfulness.

Our work requires commitment and stamina. We act predominantly for global multinationals, international banks, development finance institutions and diplomatic missions, whose business runs across many time zones. We are a 24-hour practice.

THE FIRST STAGE

Please, send the following to the Talent Hunt Committee at kimathi@kimathilegal.com:

1. Your CV and a cover letter.
2. An essay titled “50 Random Things About Yourself.”
3. Your undergraduate and law school transcripts or results.

You will also need to type at least 40 words per minute.

THE NEXT STAGES

The process is long and varied. It is a journey of discovery: for us to know you, for you to know us, and for you to know yourself.

Applicants who pass the first stage go on to:

1. Essays.
2. Book reports on titles such as How to Win Friends and Influence People, Grit and Atomic Habits.
3. A written exercise.
4. An assessment day.
5. Interviews with our lawyers.

INTERNSHIPS

We offer short internships for high school students who are considering the study of law. Please, write to us at kimathi@kimathilegal.com.

We do not run an internship programme for university or law students. Exceptional students, or those who come highly recommended, may be considered.
