Parth Kalaria

Professionally, Parth has worked full-time at several prestigious law firms, including Shearman & Sterling and Jones Day. He now runs his own law practice, Kalaria Law PLLC, focusing on advising startups and small businesses.

Through his professional experiences, Parth has developed strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and the ability to break down complicated legal concepts. These skills have been instrumental in his years of coaching law school applicants, guiding them through every facet of the complex application process. Students Parth has coached have been accepted to Columbia Law School, Harvard Law School, the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, the University of Michigan Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, and other prestigious institutions. 

Parth understands the stress that goes into applying to law school and prides himself on his ability to break application components into digestible pieces. He works closely with students to ensure they craft the perfect application with maximum care and minimal stress. 

As a coach, Parth’s greatest strength is helping students reflect on their background (personal, professional, academic, and extracurricular) and choose impactful experiences and stories to describe in their law school applications. He believes that each student can portray unique value as part of the admissions process. Since students are often tempted to include only what seems appealing or attractive to schools, Parth’s approach focuses on reflecting on students’ actual strengths and highlighting them within their application.

In his free time, Parth enjoys working out, attending concerts, watching movies, trying new restaurants, and going to stand-up comedy shows.
