We are excited to announce that after receiving full-time job offers from both of the law firms Mike worked at this summer, he has accepted the offer to join the law firm of King & Spalding in Houston, Texas after graduation. He will be joining the firm's Global Transactions group.

Many of you have asked us to provide more information about King & Spalding and the type of law Mike will be practicing in the Global Transactions group. Below is a brief description of the firm along with links to the various parts of the firm's website for those of you who really want to know more about where Mike will be spending the majority of his time starting next fall.
