King & Spalding LLP

Atlanta, GA·15 offices

Firm Overview

King & Spalding has built one of the most dominant healthcare and FDA practices in the country, alongside exceptional energy and litigation capabilities. The firm's Atlanta headquarters and its Southern market presence give it access to clients and matters that purely New York–centric firms cannot serve.

Associate Experience

Associates at King & Spalding gain deep substantive expertise in healthcare, energy, and litigation — three areas where the firm is genuinely elite. The Southern market presence means a somewhat different associate experience than purely coastal BigLaw.

Lateral Recruiting Context

King & Spalding actively recruits healthcare, FDA, energy, and litigation practitioners. For laterals interested in the Atlanta market or in building a healthcare or energy practice, K&S represents one of the strongest platforms available.
