William Grenner
K&L Gates
While partner William Grenner mostly works for big commercial businesses and high net-worth clients, the case he is most fond of he received nothing for – a victory for homeless people who were wrongly prosecuted.
It was that homeless case that won the State Bar President’s Award for this Orange County native.
A 20-year litigator who specializes in complex commercial disputes, Grenner practices law in Orange County for K&L Gates, one of the most sophisticated international firms in the legal business. His focus is real estate, environmental, lending matters, and complex administrative and litigation actions.
Grenner graduated from University High School in Irvine, and then double majored at UC Irvine in political science and social ecology, graduating magna cum laude in both majors and Phi Beta Kappa.
He graduated from Georgetown Law School and began his legal career at Morrison & Foerster, specializing in real estate matters for the Mission Viejo Company. He moved to Preston Gates & Ellis in 2004 – the firm later became the global firm K&L Gates. Bill Gates Sr., father of the computer software magnate, is a former partner of the firm.
“Clients should consider me if they want personal hands on service by counsel who understands that a business or individual needs a practical approach to solving their legal problems,” he says.
His community work was evident during the 1994 bankruptcy, as he was hired by the O.C. Trial Courts to provide funding to keep the troubled court system running.
While no statue has been erected for him yet, he does deserve credit for another one that honors the partnership between the Orange County Bar Foundation and the court’s landmark juvenile diversion “Shortstop” program: the statue gracing the first floor of the Santa Ana Superior Court exists because Grenner commissioned the artist and organized the fundraising.
