New hire for London disputes practice
King & Spalding has recruited partner Nick Cherryman, previously head of international disputes in Fried Frank’s London office.
Nick, who previously practised as a commercial chancery barrister for 12 years, represents major corporate clients and institutions in complex, high-value international arbitration and commercial disputes. He has previously acted for TNK-BP Ltd (over BP's abortive venture with Rosneft), Goldman Sachs (credit default swaps litigation against Natixis), Motorola (international fraud case against the Uzans), Malaysian Airlines (EU competition law claims), Cerner UK Ltd (UK Government's National Programme for IT) and NokiaSiemens (Russian-related guarantee dispute).
“London is a key global hub for disputes and it is imperative for us to offer the very best lawyers to service our international client base,” says Reggie Smith, head of King & Spalding’s global disputes practice. “Nick brings added expertise and experience in international commercial litigation and arbitration to our existing team in London.”
“Nick is another quality new addition to our growing team in London,” says Garry Pegg, managing partner of the London office. “We have now added six leading lateral partners in the last six months as we continue to build up our capacity, both in disputes and commercial advice.”
