King & Spalding Lands a Big Fish: Former SG Paul Clement

November 21, 2008

The bidding war is over: Former Solicitor General Paul Clement, one of the most highly prized legal catches coming from the Bush administration, has decided to return to the Washington, D.C., office of Atlanta-based King & Spalding. "It feels great to be back," said Clement from the firm's offices on Thursday. A number of other firms were in the running, some of which, according to one competitor, made "eye-popping" bids for Clement's talent.
