King & Spalding LLP‘s Parisian base was strengthened with the arrival of John Savage from the London office, who now shares his time between France and the UK, handling large investment and commercial disputes often linked to the oil and gas sector. Working hand-in-hand with the London and US offices, the Parisian team acts in commercial and investment disputes and also handles exequatur cases. It is particularly involved in European renewables and construction cases. Marc-Olivier Langlois leads the Paris practice, while Amy Frey and Agnès Bizard are two other key members. Of note, Ken Fleuriet has now retired.
