Global law firm K&L Gates has once again been named a Best Foreign Law Firms Award winner by Asia Business Law Journal (ABLJ) at the Korea Law Firm Awards 2024–25.

In the awards coverage, ABLJ highlights the firm’s long history of advising Korean sponsors and financial institutions in energy and infrastructure projects regionally and globally.
