K&L Gates
K&L Gates LLP is a multinational corporation law firm based in the United States, with international offices in Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, the firm was formed in 2007 by the merger of the Pittsburgh-based law firm Kirkpatrick & Lockhart and the Seattle-based law firm Preston Gates & Ellis.
The firm delivers legal services at both an individual office level and through nine broad firmwide 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, each of which also include a number of subject matter and industry-based practice groups.
As of March 2017[update], the leaders of K&L Gates are James Segerdahl (global managing partner) and Michael Caccese (chairman, management committee).
Harold Preston established a law office in Seattle in 1883, which eventually evolved into the firm Preston Gates & Ellis. Pittsburgh-based Kirkpatrick, Pomeroy, Lockhart & Johnson was founded in 1946.
In 2005, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart and Nicholson Graham & Jones, founded in 1858,[citation needed] merged to become Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham. Two years later, on January 1, 2007, K&L Gates was formed through the merger between Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham and Preston Gates & Ellis, resulting in the creation of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis. The name was later shortened to K&L Gates.
K&L Gates combined with Hughes & Luce, a Dallas-based firm in January 2008. In July of that year, the firm merged with Kennedy Covington Lobdell & Hickman LLP, a North Carolina–based firm.
On March 1, 2009, K&L Gates merged with Bell, Boyd & Lloyd, a Chicago-based firm with approximately 215 attorneys with offices in Chicago, San Diego and Washington, D.C.
In 2013, the firm merged with Australian national firm Middletons, which has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane.
