With reputable strengths in handling contentious matters, King & Spalding LLP is a go-to firm for representation in complex class action and multi-district litigation. The team leads the full range of e-discovery work in high-profile federal and state cases and is well-suited for crisis matters such as large data breaches or spoliation situations. Additionally, the firm holds long-standing relationships with its global client base across a wide range of industries, acting as ongoing discovery counsel to advise on preservation, data collection and privilege reviews. The Atlanta-based group is co-led by John Tucker, a discovery expert with knowledge in project strategy and regularly defends clients’ e-discovery practices in court. Ronni Solomon jointly leads the team with a strong track record representing large companies in ‘bet-the-business’ matters that involve high-volume, complex discovery. The team is closely supported by Tanya Canup with a focus on information governance and preservation and collection methods.
