Patrick Gaas
Gaas is a partner in the firm’s construction and infrastructure team, and Shank is a partner in the complex commercial litigation practice. Gaas said he and Shank have worked together for about 15 years.
The group also includes associates Jarett Dillard, Mauricio Escobar, Courtney Lynch, and Nicholas Nieto, and counsel Sam Arora, Heather Asselin, Christopher Bradford, Paul Catalano, Brian Gaudet, Edward Hubbard, and David Lynch. Gaas said everyone does construction law—either litigation or transactional or both.
The Houston office opened on Oct. 2, but the firm made the announcement today.
Gaas said the move to Kilpatrick Townsend, which has 640 lawyers, including 27 in Dallas, is a natural progression for his career.

“The work and the clients that we represent and the work we are doing is of such a size and scope now that we really need a bigger platform and a large law firm to help us,” he said. ”We like their strategic plan, their platform … and really their commitment to Houston and Texas and the Gulf Coast region.”
Kilpatrick Townsend has 20 offices, including overseas offices in Shanghai, Stockholm and Tokyo, while Coats Rose has offices in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans and Cincinnati.
