Kostelanetz LLP is a destination for the legal elite. Lawyers come to our boutique practice because we focus on our lawyers’ professional development and pursue excellence. Our supportive culture is tightly tied to low associate-turnover, high promotion rates, outstanding legal work, and excellent client service.
The Kostelanetz LLP paralegal team helps our attorneys in researching and analyzing information and collaborates with our lawyers, providing them with essential analytical and technical support.
In 2021, Kostelanetz LLP expanded its Pre-Law Paralegal Program for high-achieving college graduates with the inauguration of an internship for pre-law undergraduates at Spelman College. Spelman College is a historically Black liberal arts college for women located in Atlanta, Georgia, known for its academic rigor and rich history as the No. 1 ranked Historically Black College and University (HBCU). The internship is designed to ensure that our firm’s clients benefit from the extraordinary talent available at Spelman, while simultaneously promoting diversity and inclusion in the legal profession and the tax law bar.
Kostelanetz LLP welcomes applications from students enrolled in the Tax LLM program at Georgetown University Law Center for the firm’s Externship Program. Our firm seeks qualified candidates on a year-round basis, meaning that applications for the Externship Program are open for the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Participants in the Externship Program are eligible to receive academic credit from Georgetown Law School.

In 2022, at the suggestion of Kostelanetz partner, Sharon McCarthy, and then-paralegal Michael Gelb, we engaged Blue Level Diversity and Inclusion Training to provide all partners and employees with training on issues relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
After the training was conducted, the firm followed up by forming a firm DEI Committee consisting of one staff member, one paralegal, one associate or counsel, and one partner. Our employees are encouraged to approach any of these committee members to speak openly and offer suggestions. The committee, which was organized by Kostelanetz partner, Caroline Rule, is expected to meet periodically to review issues that have come up and discuss possible responses.
