King & Spalding was one of the first full-service law firms in the world to establish a practice devoted to construction law. Today, King & Spalding has one of the largest transactional construction and procurement practices in the world, comprised of over fifteen lawyers in Houston, Atlanta, London and Abu Dhabi, focused solely on representing owners, developers and lenders in the drafting and negotiation of construction-related agreements for their global projects.
King & Spalding’s focus on representing solely owners, developers and lenders is unique in the industry, and enables us to avoid potential conflicts of interest with contractors, architects and engineers. Our team consists of lawyers with hands-on construction industry experience. Many of the team’s lawyers are former engineers, who are comfortable “rolling up their sleeves” and working with the owner’s engineers, architects and consultants to coordinate the terms and conditions with the technical exhibits and to help prevent common pitfalls that occur in technical documentation. Our team’s lawyers also have extensive prior experience arbitrating and litigating construction disputes, giving them a strong understanding of problems that can arise during projects and how to avoid or mitigate against them.
