will focus his practice primarily on antitrust matters related to
intellectual property issues, especially in the pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and medical devices industries.
"We are pleased to welcome Russ to King & Spalding and look forward to the
contributions he will make to the ongoing expansion of our antitrust and

antitrust practice and will help us to continue providing superior service
to our clients."

partner. He is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, a member of the
board of the Antitrust Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia and a
contributing editor to Antitrust Law Developments. Who's Who Legal, the
