Four months after Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone launched its Washington, D.C., office with a team from K&L Gates, the firm announced on Tuesday that two of those lawyers will now open an office in Qatar to serve its clients in the U.S. defence industry.

The Qatar office will be led by Pawel Chudzicki and Lana Yaghi, who joined Miller Canfield in June as part of the Detroit-based firm’s move to D.C. Chudzicki and Yaghi will share their time between the firm’s new Doha and Washington offices.
