Two K&L Gates private equity partners, including a co-head of the firm’s practice, have moved to the New York office of Proskauer Rose. James Lee and Jae Woo Park said the firm’s strong London presence was a major draw.

The duo, who had joined K&L from Goodwin Procter about three years ago, have experience working with publicly traded companies, private equity firms and investment funds on a wide variety of transactions. Lee, who co-led K&L’s practice, said about 75% of their deals are cross-border, underscoring the need for a strong London office.
