Doubling down on U.S. expansion, Kennedys has added two new offices to the West Coast, announcing this week openings in both Los Angeles and Seattle.

The London-headquartered firm, which will run its U.S. office count up to 12 and total office count to 47 with the moves on Tuesday, noted increasing client demand on the West Coast since opening in San Francisco in 2020. The firm said in a statement the openings were part of "ongoing strategic expansion" in the U.S., including after planting a flag in South Florida earlier this year. The firm's partners in the new locations focus on civil litigation and litigate insurance coverage issues.
