King & Spalding LLP
Among King & Spalding LLP’s sector strong suits, the appellate practice stands out for its expertise in life sciences and healthcare-related cases, where it can act hand-in-hand with the wider firm’s dominant life sciences group. Other key areas of activity include energy, environmental and IP-related matters, while geographically it is particularly noted for its presence in Florida appeals. In a highlight example of its strength in the pharmaceutical sphere, Washington DC-based department co-head Ashley Parrish successfully represented Novo Nordisk in a Third Circuit appeal challenging efforts to expand the scope of manufacturers’ obligations under the federal 340B drug pricing program. The group also draws on fellow department co-lead Jeffrey Bucholtz, based in Washington DC, and California appellate specialist Anne Voigts, who splits her time between Silicon Valley and San Francisco.
