KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 13, 2026) — Lathrop GPM is pleased to announce that its Kansas City office has opened its doors at 2323 Grand Boulevard. The new space represents the firm’s continued investment in the Kansas City community and its locally based clients.
The 47,000-square-foot Crown Center office adopts the firm’s hybrid model, combining open seating with private, assigned workspaces. This approach, already in place across the firm’s Boston, Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, St. Cloud and St. Louis offices, supports flexibility, enhances collaboration and enables teams to deliver efficient, high-quality service. The firm’s San Jose and Washington, D.C. offices are expected to transition to this model later in the year
“We’re excited to welcome our team into a space that reflects how we work today,” said Ben Struby, Partner in Charge of the firm’s Kansas City office. “The legal profession continues to evolve, and our workplace should evolve with it. This office was thoughtfully designed to support a variety of work styles. It creates an environment where people feel supported, included and empowered to do their best work while giving us the flexibility to meet our clients’ needs wherever they are.”
Located on the seventh and eighth floors, the new office features eight conference rooms, private offices, open workspaces and a cafe. The glass walls allow natural light throughout, creating an open, modern environment.
“Kansas City has deep roots for our firm. It’s where longtime clients trust us with their most important work and where we’ve built a team we’re proud of,” said Managing Partner Cameron Garrison. “We’ve been part of this market for more than 150 years and continue to invest in our relationships and opportunities.”
One of the oldest and largest law firms in Kansas City, the firm has maintained strong ties to the region since Gardiner Lathrop founded a predecessor firm in 1873. Kansas City remains home to Lathrop GPM’s largest office, with approximately 100 lawyers and 95 staff serving clients across key practice areas including litigation, corporate, intellectual property, and trusts & estates. The team is consistently recognized for its excellence, with Chambers USA ranking it among Missouri’s best in corporate/M&A, employment, environmental, litigation and real estate. Reflecting the depth of its legal talent, the office has been included on Missouri Lawyers Media’s Top 20 Law Firms list each year since the publication introduced the ranking.
