Trial lawyer Kenneth Turnbull started at King & Spalding’s Washington Office today, the fifth partner to join the firm’s professional liability and securities litigation practices from Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe since the beginning of February.

Turnbull, who had worked at Orrick’s Washington office for the past eight years, represents Big Four accounting firms in Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement proceedings and federal investigations.
“King & Spalding has an excellent reputation for its liabilities practice. I’m enthusiastic to join,” said Turnbull, who earned his J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law.
David Schaefer, global director of communications for Orrick, said that despite the loss of the five partners, the firm still has a 65 lawyer-strong security and litigation enforcement group.
“We wish Ken well, but our litigation division expects another successful year because of our diverse group of clients and global expertise,” he said.
