About the Role:
Kaplan Kirsch seeks a highly motivated, creative, and collaborative mid-level transactional associate (3 to 5+ years of experience) to join our Project Funding and Delivery Practice. You will focus on construction procurement, contracting, project finance, and project delivery (P3, design-build, CMAR/CM/GC, progressive design-build) across infrastructure sectors for airports, transit agencies, state departments of transportation, and other public and private entities. The work is sophisticated, varied, collaborative, nationwide, and rarely routine.
The Ideal Candidate:
You bring strong commercial instincts, sharp judgment, and a drive to own complex procurements, contracts, funding and financing structures, and delivery issues. While transportation or social infrastructure experience is a plus, we value intellectual curiosity—someone who loves tackling unfamiliar regulatory frameworks, working across disciplines, and solving practical problems for complex projects that leave a lasting mark on communities and the built environment.
About the Firm:
Founded in 2003 as an alternative to the "business of law as usual," Kaplan Kirsch is a fast-growing, collegial, and collaborative national specialized law firm. A majority of our clients are states, local governments, Native American Tribes, airports, transit agencies, renewable energy companies, and non-profit organizations. Our firm offers a rare opportunity to work on matters that shape how people and goods move, how regions grow, and how communities stay connected. Just as important, it is deeply meaningful: our clients own and operate essential public assets, and the legal work surrounding them affects millions of travelers, businesses, and communities across the United States every day.
Our leadership includes multiple former U.S. Department of Transportation General Counsels and former chief counsels from the Federal Railroad and Federal Transit Administrations. We offer associates real-world significance, substantial responsibility, direct client contact, and a clear path toward partnership in a supportive environment.
