K&L Gates has opened an office in Dublin, its ninth in Europe and 48th worldwide, with three lateral partner hires—becoming the latest in a string of international firms to establish a beachhead in the Irish capital.
The founding partners, all specialists in asset management and investment funds (AMIF), are Gayle Bowen, Shane Geraghty and Michelle Lloyd. They will be joined by additional lawyers and practice capabilities over time, K&L Gates said in a statement on Wednesday.
