Testimonials

  • ‘Our engagements with K&L Gates have been led with strategic excellence, but also with noteworthy wisdom. They read the issue and broader context quickly, and then suggest a course of action that springs from fresh, current insight and a long-range wealth of personal relationships and impact. We feel well advised by K&L on the issues we face with federal legislators and regulators.’

  • ‘Karishma Page is a particular standout on K&L's team. Each of the team members are strong in their own right, but Karishma brings a warmth, wisdom, grace, attentiveness, patience, and action-oriented perspective to her strategic counsel, which we find invaluable.’
