Bigger
is
always
better
when
it
comes
to
Biglaw
—
and
Kennedys,
a
UK-founded
firm,
is
setting
its
sights
on
increasing
its
size
in
the
United
States.
As
first
noted
by
the
American
Lawyer,
Kennedys
is
adding
two
new
offices
to
its
US
offerings,
opening
spaces
in
Los
Angeles
and
Seattle
as
part
of
its
“ongoing
strategic
expansion”
in
America.
These
new
additions
will
increase
the
firm’s
US
office
count
to
12
and
total
office
count
to
47.
Am
Law
has
more
details:
“Kennedys
offices
in
North
America
have
seen
strong
growth
over
the
last
three
years,
with
a
62%
increase
in
headcount.
We
now
have
215
attorneys
servicing
our
clients
across
the
U.S.,”
said
Meg
Catalano,
regional
managing
partner
in
the
US,
in
a
statement.
“The
opening
of
these
new
offices
expands
our
physical
presence
on
the
West
Coast,
allowing
us
to
service
increasing
client
demand
across
the
region.”
Kennedys
first
established
itself
in
the
US
in
2017,
and
attributed
much
of
its
revenue
and
profit
growth
last
year
to
its
presence
and
performance
in
the
US.
Best
of
luck
to
the
firm
as
it
continues
its
US
expansion.
