Mike Plotnick has been announced as the new partner at King & Spalding, a leading international law firm specializing in business law. Plotnick will be joining the organization in their Washington, D.C. office, where he’ll be a part of the special matters and government investigations practice group, a notable addition to the firm’s already robust legal team. The announcement was made by the firm earlier this week.
Before arriving at King & Spalding, Plotnick gained considerable experience in the field of business and enforcement law as he served as chief trial counsel in the division of enforcement and investigations at the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). His responsibilities at the PCAOB also included overseeing investigations concerning potential violations by auditors of public companies and broker-dealers.
Plotnick’s previous position at the PCAOB, paired with his new role at King & Spalding, could equip him with a unique perspective as he transitions from an enforcement role in a governmental agency to a position in a law firm that largely deals with business law and professional services liability defense practices.
The announcement of Plotnick’s appointment confirms King & Spalding’s commitment to strengthening their practice groups with industry-experienced individuals. Notably, this move could increase the firm’s capacity to provide more substantial services to their clients involved in special matters and governmental investigations.
