K&L Gates represents leading global corporations, growth and middle-market companies, capital markets participants and entrepreneurs in every major industry group as well as public sector entities, educational institutions, philanthropic organizations and individuals. Our practice is a robust full market practice — cutting edge, complex and dynamic, at once regional, national and international in scope.
K&L Gates practices law on an integrated basis and indeed has the largest integrated network of offices of any global law firm. In 2015, 480 of the firm’s 500 largest clients used lawyers from two or more firm offices, and 13 of the firm’s 20 largest clients used lawyers from 10 or more firm offices. The average number of offices engaged on projects by the firm’s 20 largest clients in 2015 was 17.4. For the firm’s 100 largest clients in 2015, which generated 32.7% of revenues, the average number of offices engaged was 12.7. Our global platform, diversity of practice strengths and integrated approach to client service are the hallmarks of a law firm positioned for all stages of the business cycle. As noted by the May 2010 issue of The American Lawyer: K&L Gates “was nearly alone in posting revenue and profit gains in both 2008 and 2009 [during the Great Recession].”
Our delivery of legal services is supported at both the individual office level and through nine firm wide practice areas: Corporate and Transactional; Energy, Infrastructure and Resources; Finance; Financial Services; Intellectual Property; Labor, Employment and Workplace Safety; Litigation and Dispute Resolution; Real Estate; and Regulatory and Policy. Within each of these practice areas are subject matter and industry-based practice groups.
