backSYDNEY, Australia, October 15, 2025 – King & Spalding has launched an office in Sydney, Australia, opening a gateway to the firm’s integrated cross-practice capabilities around the globe for Australian multinationals and multinational clients doing business in the Asia-Pacific region.
“We have been active in the Sydney market for some time, collaborating across our offices and practices worldwide to open doors to global opportunities for Australian clients,” said Robert D. Hays, King & Spalding’s Chairman. “Establishing an official foothold in Sydney solidifies our commitment and enables us to build on it.”
The firm has more than 30 Australian and Australian-qualified lawyers who span its transactional, regulatory and litigation practices and its offices in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the U.S. These include partners resident in Sydney who handle complex commercial litigation and arbitration, cross-border energy and technology transactions, and global workforce matters and provide a link to the firm’s global platform. With the Sydney office, the firm now has 26 offices worldwide.
“Given the extensive relationships we have in Australia, the large number of Australian lawyers we have firm-wide, and the successes we have achieved for our clients here by opening them up to our practices around the world, fully integrating Sydney into our full-service global platform now is the natural next step,” said Darren Gardner, leader of the firm’s Global Human Capital and Compliance team and managing partner of the Sydney office. “Our global approach to serving this market is working well, and we are eager to grow it.”
The firm’s Sydney office is located at Gateway Tower, 1 Macquarie Place, Sydney.
