K&S PHILOSOPHY
In 1994, K&S Partners’ journey started with a vision of changing the paradigm of law firm ownership & management. This led to the establishment of K&S Partners, which is a professionally-managed collegial & meritocratic intellectual property law firm.
Almost 30 years and 300+ awards later, K&S continues to provide a meritocratic platform for young, talented lawyers to develop their skills and grow professionally, furthering the firm's legacy of providing exceptional client service. The firm’s long-term success has been guided by the following founding principles:
No glass ceilings - talent, merit, and genius matter – not genes and lineage
Integrity in conducting the practice
Respect & dignity for all members of the firm
Partners are trustees, not owners of the firm who are entrusted with its goodwill
No vested interests of a family, an individual or a group of individuals are allowed
Partnership interest is not for sale or purchase
Collegial and professional partnership with retirement age for partners
FIRM's CORE VALUES
Each one of us believes in and shares our five “core” values, abbreviated as “CLIPS”. We deem these to be the essential foundation for achieving excellence in all that we do, be it for a client or for our people. These values bind us together as an institution. We would like to be identified by our members, clients and society through these core values.
CLIENT FIRST
We recognize that we exist because of our clients; we strive to serve them beyond their expectations
LEARNING
We value intellect and knowledge; we recognize that continuous learning is a key to the growth of our people and organization
INTEGRITY
We are honest, fair and ethical in and accountable for all our actions; we do what we say
PEOPLE CARE
Our people are our biggest assets; we treat our people with respect and dignity, providing them opportunities and congenial environment to fulfil their aspirations
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
We recognize our responsibility to contribute and give back to the society and protect the environment
