Four litigation partners have jumped from Reed Smith to King & Spalding, including John Hooper, who has overseen strategy for high-profile mass tort and products liability cases and was co-head of Reed Smith’s complex litigation group.

The New York-based group, including Hooper, Kelly D’Auria, Eric Gladbach and Jacqueline Seidel, joined King & Spalding in the last week as partners in its tort and environmental practice. They have practiced together between 10 and 20 years.
