For Justin Dews, joining the investigations team at King & Spalding after working in the Office of the White House Counsel is a chance to reconnect with his New Jersey roots.

After spending nearly two years in the Biden White House, where he worked on vetting and preparing judicial nominations, Dews is now counsel at King & Spalding and will be working out of its New York office. Before joining the Biden-Harris transition team, and working as senior counsel to New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, he also had a clerkship with Judge Joseph Greenaway Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
