It’s new partner time, and per its tradition, Atlanta’s largest firm, King & Spalding, was the first locally to announce partner promotions.

This year only two of the 14 lawyers that King & Spalding made partner were from its Atlanta headquarters, John Hyman and David Meadows. Hyman is a mergers and acquisitions lawyer, and Meadows specializes in securities and shareholder litigation and related government investigations, both key practices for the firm.
