King & Spalding positions its Real Estate & Funds team as a full lifecycle platform for sponsors, managers and investors, spanning formation, GP-led liquidity solutions, financings and the longer tail of portfolio exits. Co-heads Jennifer Morgan and John Wilson sit in New York and lead a US bench of dedicated funds partners, with particular depth in real estate vehicles, including open and closed end structures and REIT adjacent products across multiple geographies and return profiles. Atlanta's Spencer Johnson is chiefly recognised for his public and private capital raising expertise, while Kathryn Furman, also based in Atlanta, focuses on fund formation mandates.
