A former King & Spalding associate who said he was fired for raising ethical concerns about the conduct of two of the firm’s partners has sued the firm for wrongful termination.
David Joffe, who worked in the firm’s commercial litigation group from January 2012 to December 2016, says that King & Spalding partner Paul Straus made false statements during proceedings for an alleged wrongful disclosure by the ZTE Corp., a Chinese telecommunications company that King & Spalding had been representing in a contract matter.
