Pohl’s practice focuses on complex commercial litigation in federal court and congressional, governmental, and regulatory investigations. Her work spans pharmaceutical, antitrust, energy and congressional investigations matters. 

“Meredith is an accomplished litigator with a breadth of experience that will add immediate boost to our litigation, congressional investigations, and crisis management practices,” said Damien Marshall, co-leader of the firm’s Business Litigation practice group. “Meredith’s arrival reflects our continued investment in deepening and diversifying our litigation platform in Washington, D.C. and across the firm”

Pohl joins King & Spalding from Kirkland & Ellis, where she was a partner. Prior to joining private practice, Pohl served in various roles in the U.S. Senate, including as Deputy General Counsel to Senator Rob Portman, and Counsel for the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. She also clerked for judges on the United States Courts of Appeals for the Tenth and Fifth Circuits. She earned her J.D. from the University of Mississippi School of Law, summa cum laude, and her B.A. from Purdue University.

“I was drawn to King & Spalding’s strength in complex litigation and investigations, as well as its clear commitment to investing in lawyers who are building and growing their practices,” said Pohl. “The collaborative platform and depth of resources here create a unique opportunity to expand my client relationships and take my practice to the next level.”
