On the same day that King & Spalding partner Christopher Wray was nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the nation’s next FBI director, the firm reached outside the U.S. to recruit a pair of Ropes & Gray finance partners for its London office.
Mark Wesseldine and Fergus Wheeler recently resigned from Ropes & Gray’s partnership ahead of plans to join King & Spalding in London, where the Atlanta-based Am Law 100 firm set up shop in 2003. Wesseldine, a former partner at Magic Circle firm Allen & Overy, joined Ropes & Gray in 2013 from Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson.
