DLA Piper has brought on former KPMG international tax group head Kevin Glenn as a partner in New York, following a one-year stint at King & Spalding.

King & Spalding touted the 22-year partner at the Big Four firm as a significant addition to its transactional practice when he came aboard in February 2018. But after an external recruiter pointed Glenn toward DLA Piper, he concluded that the global firm would be able to cater more directly to his expertise on international taxation.
