K&L Gates

K&L Gates‘s construction team serves as project counsel on megaprojects and works to quash the risk of disputes as well as deal with them when they arise. The firm’s roster of clients includes the Seattle Aquarium Society, Novelis, and Fortress Investment Group LLC. London’s Matthew Smith co-leads the team alongside Nashville’s ’highly recommended’ Slade Sevier, who has contract negotiation and litigation expertise. In Pittsburg, ‘pro’s pro’ Richard Paciaroni and the ’knowledgeable’ Jason Richey represent owners, engineers and contractors in disputes related to energy, power, and infrastructure projects. Nashville’s Robert Dodson advises on design, defects, and bid protest claims.
