"According to the King & Spalding website, Conover had written numerous briefs in cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and federal appeals courts. He had "especially deep experience" defending securities actions, although he represented clients in several types of matters, including in cases involving constitutional law, bankruptcy, patents and administrative procedure. Kellam Conover, of counsel at the law firm, had worked in its Washington, D.C., office before his death."
"Conover's mother, Pam Conover, told Stuff that her son was "as close as you come to a modern Renaissance man." He studied classics-literary works of ancient Greece and Rome-at Princeton University before graduating from Stanford Law School. He could read and write Greek and Latin and could speak Italian, French and German. He was also a gifted pianist and violinist."
Forty-four-year-old Kellam Conover, of counsel at King & Spalding, died Nov. 25 after falling with his guide while climbing Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain. The guide, Thomas Vialletet, was roped to Conover and they were near the summit when they fell. King & Spalding described Conover as a gifted lawyer, respected colleague and wonderful friend. Conover had written numerous briefs for the U.S. Supreme Court and federal appeals courts and had especially deep experience defending securities actions, along with work in constitutional law, bankruptcy, patents and administrative procedure. He studied classics at Princeton, graduated from Stanford Law School, spoke several languages and was a gifted pianist and violinist.
