Kelley Drye Expands Its Presence in California with New Del Mar Office

Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, a prominent law firm with a strong reputation, recently announced the relocation of its San Diego office from La Jolla to the scenic area of Del Mar. The new office, situated at 12481 High Bluff Drive, represents a strategic decision to deepen its investment in California and enhance its ability to engage with clients across the state.

The newly established office spans 5,000 square feet and is designed to serve as a flexible hub for client interactions and collaboration among teams. It includes a state-of-the-art conference center tailored for client meetings and various industry programs. Furthermore, the office promotes informal connections among staff and clients through its shared amenities. Its central location within San Diego's business and legal community positions Kelley Drye for continued growth while solidifying its local presence.

Dana Rosenfeld, the Managing Partner at Kelley Drye, highlighted the importance of California as a key market for the firm’s clients. He stated, “Our new office allows us to collaborate more closely with clients while supporting the integrated, statewide platform we are building across California.” This relocation is part of a broader expansion strategy, which recently saw the firm open its San Francisco office and welcome notable partners such as privacy expert Kate Black and litigation specialist Tom Rybarczyk.

The San Diego office primarily focuses on advising clients nationally on various matters, including environmental issues, international trade, and litigation. Leading the Del Mar office are partners Rebecca Durrant, Andrew Homer, and Kristine Pirnia, who aim to strengthen the firm's foothold and foster deeper client relationships in the region.
