King & Spalding LLP in Who's Who Legal
The largest contingent is in the commercial arbitration chapter, where the firm has seven nominees in the US – more than any other. The Houston office is home to five, including the “fantastic” Doak Bishop and similarly revered John Bowman, each of whom add a second nomination in the oil and gas chapter. Margrete Stevens is one of the top practitioners in DC, and Eric Schwartz also “stands out” in our French research. The firm is similarly strong on the litigation side, particularly in the Atlanta office that provides four of the five nominees.
King & Spalding’s strong presence in Texas sees it gain an impressive five nominees in the oil and gas chapter, the largest contingent from a single firm in the state. Kenneth Culotta is a “leader in the field”, while the “legendary” Philip Weems in the UAE brings the firm’s tally to six overall and earns a place among the elite practitioners worldwide.
The “wonderful” Chilton Davis Varner is likewise one of the world’s leading lawyers, her product liability defence work earning extremely high levels of recommendation in both the corresponding chapter and our litigation and life sciences research. Donald Zimmer in San
Francisco is another to earn a dual listing. The IP research also identifies several leading practitioners. Clark Lackert “figures prominently on the trademarks scene” in New York; and Anthony Askew in Atlanta gives the firm a presence in the patents chapter.
Further trios are selected in the competition and business crime defence chapters, and John Hinchey in Atlanta is one of the most highly regarded individuals in our construction research. Described as a “renaissance man, he can do anything”, he was praised for his dispute resolution practice and contract negotiation work.
