King & Spalding opened an office in Paris, one of the world's leading arbitration markets, to build on the firm's growing international arbitration practice, which earned the No. 2 spot on Focus Europe's Arbitration Scorecard. In addition to capitalizing on its historical strength in treaty arbitrations, the practice has expanded into international commercial arbitration, with particular expertise in large, complex disputes in the areas of civil engineering and construction, oil and gas, and information technology and telecommunications.
King & Spalding is ranked among the leading international arbitration practices in the world. Chambers USA 2009 says, “This powerhouse continues to impress with its international arbitration practice, attracting praise for its depth of knowledge and client service,” an accolade that echoes from the publication’s 2008 edition, which described the firm as “currently one of the arbitration arena’s biggest success stories.” King & Spalding was nominated for a Chambers USA Award for Excellence 2009 in international arbitration and was a finalist in 2008. It is also featured among the world’s leading international arbitration practices in Chambers Global 2009.
The Paris office is the firm's third office in Europe, sixth outside the United States and 14th overall.
