With ‘capabilities reflective of their deep bench and recognized industry standing’, King & Spalding combines sophisticated legal judgement with technical command to guide clients through highly complex and sensitive disputes. The team is routinely entrusted with discovery strategy in large-scale class actions, multidistrict proceedings, and government investigations. Regarded as a first call in crisis scenarios, the practice provides consistent oversight across all phases of discovery, from data preservation and ESI negotiations through document review, production, and discovery disputes. Based in Atlanta, the group is co-led by Ronni Solomon, a seasoned litigator with a strong track record defending clients in high-stakes matters, and John Tucker, an experienced discovery specialist noted for his strengths in strategic project planning. Christopher Costello further strengthens the firm’s e-discovery and information governance offering.
