Judge Paul Watford, formerly of the Ninth Circuit, has transitioned to King & Spalding as a business litigation partner after two years at Wilson Sonsini. He aims for a practice comprising 75% trial court work and 25% appellate work, focusing on clients in technology and life sciences. Watford was attracted by King & Spalding's collaborative culture and the chance to grow its litigation footprint in Los Angeles. His move indicates a significant career development, coming as King & Spalding is ranked 17th on the Am Law 100 with over $2 billion in revenue.
"I love the people, I loved what they were saying about the firm culture, about the opportunities to grow the litigation practice here in Los Angeles and California in general."
"Damien Marshall, co-leader of the firm's business litigation practice group, said the former judge's presence at King & Spalding 'brings a new dimension to the counsel we provide to our clients.'"
