Gary Born and four arbitration partners are moving to King & Spalding, bringing one of the field’s most prominent international arbitration teams to the firm.

The move is significant for more than the names involved. It raises a wider question about how global law firms are building disputes platforms at scale, and how concentrated teams of counsel and arbitrators can reshape a firm’s position in the international market.

For clients, institutional users, and practitioners, senior team moves can affect where complex mandates are placed, how conflicts are managed, and which firms are able to field deep benches across jurisdictions.
