Recent big law Bay Area immigrant King & Spalding has got some new leadership in Silicon Valley and San Francisco.
Veteran litigator Tim Scott, who came on board from Sidley & Austin when the firm opened the office last year, is the new managing partner of the Redwood Shores office.
“The plan is to continue recruiting quality partners, and we’re in the process of doing that,” Scott said. “We went from zero to 25 or 30 in the last eight months.”
There was no party, although a toast was raised at the firm’s Halloween party where at least one King & Spalding lawyer was elaborately disguised as the late King of Pop, according to people familiar with the party.
The former MP Courtland L. Reichman had moved from Atlanta, the hometown of the firm, to run the two new offices. In San Francisco, Reichman is ceding his power to Fritz Zimmer, a product liability lawyer who joined the firm when it opened up its office here. Reichman also runs the firm’s IP practice and the firm decided to hand over the offices to local lawyers.
