backLONDON, Sept. 23, 2016 — Global Investigations Review has named King & Spalding to its GIR 30, an annual list of the world’s top 30 firms for investigations matters.
The GIR 30 “aims to give in-house counsel a definitive list of the best investigations firms,” and “was decided following a rigorous vetting process,” according to the publication. The list focuses, in particular, on the depth and breadth of work that firms produced in the last two years.
With more than 100 lawyers, King & Spalding’s government investigations practice is anchored by the firm’s Special Matters team, which is made up of lawyers dedicated full-time to white-collar criminal defense, civil and regulatory investigations, and corporate internal investigations. Led by Christopher Wray, a former assistant attorney general in charge of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, the practice includes more than 40 former federal prosecutors and other enforcement officials, as well as lawyers who have devoted their careers to white-collar criminal defense.
