Degotardi said: “I am excited to join the K&L Gates real estate team and to help add to its standing in the government sector. The firm’s globally integrated network will also benefit my private sector clients and their increasingly diverse real estate portfolios.”
“Our focus is on attracting top talent and that’s precisely what we have done with the appointment of Jennifer Degotardi,” stated Nick Nichola, K&L Gates’ Managing Partner, Australia. “Jennifer is both highly experienced and regarded and will be a terrific asset for our clients to draw upon.
