Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ram Sabaratnam" data-source="post: 204146" data-attributes="member: 36738">Hiya [USER=26861]@desperateTCseeker1998[/USER]King & Spalding (K&S) is definitely one of those firms that's a bit trickier to research, but I've tried to put together some important bits of information together for you here.The firm's London office is primarily known for its litigation and disputes strengths. You can see this primarily in their rankings on <a href="https://www.legal500.com/firms/50539-king-spalding-llp/r-england/rankings" target="_blank">Legal 500 </a>and <a href="https://chambers.com/law-firm/king-spalding-international-llp-uk-1:77983" target="_blank">Chambers UK</a>. That being said, the London office has made a noticeable push on the transactional side in recent years. Over the last year alone, they've made several prominent hires in finance and corporate, and you can learn more about these hires <a href="https://www.globallegalpost.com/news/king-spalding-adds-four-partner-finance-team-in-london-from-cadwalader-235089178" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.globallegalpost.com/news/king-spalding-builds-out-global-energy-practice-with-double-partner-raid-on-akin-in-london-915649108" target="_blank">here</a>. If you're interested in construction and energy work, as well, the firm may be particularly appealing to you. The firm has also made some notable hires in terms of its disputes practice. In February 2024, Sir Max Hill KC, formerly the director of public prosecutions, joined K&S, making it the only US firm with four London-based KCs.In terms of recent work, you may want to look into the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In London, partners William Charnley and Marcus Young acted for Tradeshi Holdings on its JV with HSBC, which raised nearly $70m to scale up its network.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">On the contentious side, the firm advised Colombian oil refinery Reficar on the UK aspects of its high-profile litigation following an award of $1bn in actual damages through arbitration.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">K&S also represented the Republic of Turkey in an ICC arbitration filed by the Government of Iraq, a significant case touching on both private and public international law.</li> </ul>These are just some bits to get you going with drafting your application. I hope this helps with your research and good luck!</blockquote>
