What the Team is Known For

King & Spalding boasts a strong global presence emanating from leading teams in the USA and Asia, with offices in Paris and London acting as hubs for the European arbitration group. The teams handle high value, multi-jurisdictional commercial arbitration proceedings, particularly in the renewable and conventional energy sectors, with significant expertise in oil and gas as well as construction disputes. A further pillar of strength is King & Spalding's activity in high-end investor state arbitrations and enforcement proceedings, often representing multinational companies as well as sovereign states. European investors pursuing ECT claims against European states also regularly mandate King & Spalding. It also acts for clients from South Asia and the CIS region. The firm has further expertise in the media, mining and manufacturing sectors.
