K&L Gates comprises over 1,700 lawyers in 28 offices located in North America, Europe and Asia. K&L Gates represents capital markets participants and leading global corporations, growth and middle-market companies, and entrepreneurs in a variety of industry groups. Our delivery of legal services is supported at both the individual office level and through five firmwide practice areas: Litigation and Dispute Resolution; Corporate and Transactional; Financial Services; Regulatory and Policy; and Intellectual Property. Within each of these practice areas is a number of subject matter and industry-based practice groups, including our Construction & Engineering and Insurance Coverage practices.

Our litigation engagements ― including, among other substantive areas, construction and insurance coverage — are among the largest and most attractive enjoyed by any law firm. Our team of more than 400 litigation lawyers has the breadth and depth of experience and the capability to address even the most complex and difficult engagements in an efficient and cost-effective manner. We have argued appeals in the United States Supreme Court and in the United States Court of Appeals for every circuit.

K&L Gates’ Construction & Engineering practice group includes over 100 lawyers, many of whom are former engineers or practiced in the construction industry before joining the firm. Our core practices are construction project support, dispute resolution and government contracting. In the U.S. we have experience in approximately 45 states and in over 40 countries internationally. We understand the industry from finance, development and design through implementation, construction and close-out. Drawing upon our legal and technical expertise, we work with our clients to minimize disputes and accomplish common project goals. Our ability to anticipate, address and prevent the myriad of problems that can arise during any phase of a construction project provides real value to our clients and enhances their bottom line.

More than 100 lawyers are concentrated in K&L Gates’ Insurance Coverage practice group, which has become one of the largest insurance coverage practices in the world. We have been rated a leading practice in the representation of corporate policyholders in the insurance coverage area. We have litigated a wide variety of insurance disputes in more than 35 states, as well as before domestic and international arbitration panels and in other ADR proceedings. We have extensive experience with construction insurance litigation, counseling clients on insurance provisions for construction contracts, negotiating insurance provisions of construction contracts and negotiating change orders to insurance provisions of construction contracts. K&L Gates has experience with virtually every type of insurance policy used on construction projects including builders risk, professional, consequential loss (delay-in-start up), commercial general liability, bridge and tunnel, ocean marine cargo, property, business interruption and excess commercial general and professional liability insurance policies.
