When it comes to helping our clients advance their business goals, King & Spalding knows every transaction is significant. From complex, high-value deals that shape markets to strategic transactions that sharpen a business’s focus, we bring together our collective experience, global resources, and deep industry knowledge to help acquirors, sellers and targets successfully execute and close transactions – treating each we handle with an uncompromising approach to quality and service.

Connections to the Right Resources.
The breadth of our practice allows us to complement our core M&A teams with coordinated advice across more than 50 legal areas.
We tailor each cross-practice team we assemble around the client, the transaction and the guiding business objectives — regularly collaborating with our colleagues experienced in capital markets, tax, executive compensation and benefits, intellectual property, global human capital, and data, privacy and security.
Our M&A team draws upon our practices in Trial and Global Disputes — where we have a remarkable record of success for our clients, both inside and outside the courtroom — and Government Matters — where we leverage decades of prior government service and industry expertise to provide our clients with insight in their most complex regulatory and enforcement challenges, including antitrust, national security, international trade and government investigations.
Clients benefit from our combination of our broad, global capabilities with deep-seated business and sector knowledge across several priority industries, issues and regulatory frameworks, including technology, energy, life sciences, healthcare, real estate, transportation and logistics, financial services, aerospace and defense, among others that frequently come into play in our clients’ transactions.
