October 26, 2026

NEW YORK, October 26, 2026 – King & Spalding announced today that Eddie Frastai has joined the firm as a partner in its Real Estate & Funds practice group. He is based in the New York office.

Frastai advises domestic and international real estate owners, developers, investors, asset managers and financial institutions on a broad range of commercial real estate transactions. His practice spans joint ventures, preferred equity investments, mortgage, mezzanine and construction financings, debt restructurings, acquisitions and dispositions involving office, hotel, retail, residential and mixed-use assets. His experience also includes handling complex transactions that combine real estate, financing and investment management.

“Eddie’s strong technical capability, versatility, and experience working on sophisticated transactions makes him an outstanding addition to our team,” said Erik Andersen, co-leader of the Real Estate & Funds practice group. “Eddie’s arrival strengthens the firm’s real estate bench in New York, especially given the breadth of his practice and the depth of his experience across all major real estate asset classes and transaction types throughout the capital stack.”

Frastai joins King & Spalding from Clifford Chance, where he was a partner. He earned his J.D. from New York University School of Law and his B.A. from New York University. 

“King & Spalding has built one of the premier real estate platforms in the market,” Frastai said. “The firm's collaborative culture, deep client relationships and expansive U.S. platform create tremendous opportunities for me to serve clients on their most significant and sophisticated transactions. I am excited to join the team.”

Frastai is the third real estate partner to join King & Spalding’s New York office in 2026. Real estate partner Brian Donnelly joined the firm in January 2026, and real estate partner Phil Fitzpatrick joined in April 2026.
