K&L Gates Boosts Corporate Practice with Charlotte Partner Addition

The Charlotte office of global law firm K&L Gates LLP welcomes Kevin A. Christmas as a partner in its corporate/M&A practice. He arrives from Reed Smith LLP.

Christmas advises clients on domestic and international mergers and acquisitions, capital raising activities, and restructuring transactions across a wide range of industry sectors. He also regularly counsels clients on general corporate and commercial matters and corporate governance issues.

“We have a robust corporate and transactional practice in our four Carolinas offices with significant experience in mergers and acquisitions, private equity, mezzanine finance, and securities offerings,” said Sean M. Jones, Administrative Partner of K&L Gates’ Charlotte office. “Kevin’s particular focus on middle market corporate and M&A work will fit in very nicely with that practice, both in the Carolinas and across the firm. Kevin is a wonderful addition, and we are delighted that he has joined us.”

K&L Gates’ corporate/M&A practice provides clients with full-service counsel on the structuring, financing, and completion of domestic, international, and cross-border transactions. Earlier this year, K&L Gates was named “Law Firm of the Year” by Mergers & Acquisitions magazine as part of their Mid-Market M&A Awards.
