King & Spalding has announced the return of a former chief public corruption prosecutor from the U.S. Department of Justice to its ranks. This individual, who previously served as an associate at the firm early in their career, will rejoin as a partner in the Special Matters and Government Investigations practice.
During their tenure at the Department of Justice, the attorney led several high-profile public corruption cases, including the prosecution of former Illinois Governor George Ryan. Their extensive experience in handling complex investigations and trials has earned them recognition within the legal community.
The attorney’s return to King & Spalding aligns with the firm’s ongoing strategy of integrating seasoned government officials into its practice. Notably, in recent years, the firm has welcomed several former federal prosecutors and officials, such as Zachary Fardon, who rejoined to launch the firm’s Chicago office, and Sir Max Hill KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales, who joined the London office.
