K&L Gates

Demonstrating strength in congressional investigations, the K&L Gates public policy and law group is also frequently retained by private companies, alliances and associations for strategic advice and policy advocacy. The practice is active across the financial services, postal, maritime, space, LNG and transportation industries. Michael Scanlon has a specialism in shipping and maritime matters and advocates in this area for new legislation and regulation and compliance with this, while David Wochner focuses on the natural gas and hydrogen industries and has extensive experience representing clients before the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Karishma Page lobbies on behalf of clients in the financial services, retirement, healthcare and employee benefits areas, while Andrew Wright is adept at congressional investigations. All four partners are based in Washington DC and make up the leadership team. Daniel Crowley handles public policy issues relating to financial services, Bruce Heiman focuses on cyber security, privacy policies and IP, while Emanuel Rouvelas handles policy issues in the maritime and shipping industry. Joe Trahern joined the practice in January 2024 and brings experience in the Senate and House of Representatives with him.
