In a significant professional shift, prominent New York attorneys Amy Greer and Jennifer Klass have made a move from Baker McKenzie to K&L Gates. The duo formerly established Baker McKenzie’s North American financial services regulatory group and have now joined K&L Gates as partners in the firm’s white-collar and asset management divisions. This information was provided by New York Law Journal.
Both Greer and Klass are migrating their client bases to the new firm, reflecting their anticipation of a more comprehensive support framework at K&L Gates. Prior to their stint at Baker McKenzie, they were recruited from Morgan Lewis & Bockius in 2019 to initiate the practice. Their trajectory highlights a desire for a firm providing a broader range of skills and expertise to cater to their clients.
