King & Spalding and Alston & Bird have announced expansion plans, with King & Spalding opening a four-lawyer office in Frankfurt, Germany, and Alston acquiring a five-lawyer firm in Dallas and sending three more lawyers to the new Texas office.
King & Spalding said in a Tuesday press release that its fourth office outside the United States — it has posts in London and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and an affiliated office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — will respond to growing client demand in the areas of real estate capital markets, finance, corporate and tax. The Frankfurt opening marks the firm’s fourth new office in the past year and its ninth worldwide location.
