In a significant expansion in Texas, King & Spalding is opening an office in Dallas, a move prompted by the hiring of trial lawyer Veronica Moye, who was a co-chair of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher‘s global litigation practice group, and growing demand from clients.

Moye, who joined King & Spalding on Monday as a partner in the business litigation practice group, is the most recent partner hire in the Dallas market for King & Spalding. Within the last six months, the firm has added Sidley Austin antitrust partner Sean Royall and McKool Smith intellectual property litigator Alfonso Chan.
