King & Spalding opens its Miami office, with a particular focus on our Brazilian and wider LatAm practice.
We are thrilled to share the news of the opening of King & Spalding’s Miami office, which officially launched on February 28th. The office, our 23rd globally, will provide a diverse range of capabilities across many of our leading trial, transactional, and governmental practices, with a particular focus on further assisting the needs of our Brazilian clients, many of which have connections with the Sunshine State.
The office now serves as a base of operations for the more than 50 King & Spalding lawyers who are barred in Florida and regularly work on matters in the state. Given Florida’s rapidly expanding economy and strategic importance more broadly in the U.S., Brazil and across Latin America, as well as the firm’s many clients with business and legal interests in the state, the Miami office will be an important hub for the firm and our clients.
Market-Leading Capabilities in Florida
- Top-ranked both globally and in Latin America, our international arbitration practice regularly represents multinationals in proceedings held in Miami, a growing global center for international arbitration and will continue to represent multinationals in arbitrations in other key global dispute venues, including Brazil and Latin America more broadly.
- Our mass tort and consumer class action lawyers have represented clients in the consumer products, automotive, financial services, life sciences and technology sectors in hundreds of cases in Florida, with more than 100 jury trials in the past decade.
- The healthcare team currently advises several of Florida’s largest hospital systems and other healthcare providers.
- The firm’s government advocacy and public policy team will extend its reach into the state, led by two former Florida congressmen at the firm who already counsel clients in Florida.
- The Miami office will become a client service center for the firm’s already leading private equity, fintech and healthcare technology capabilities.
