Partner joins King & Spalding

Law firm King & Spalding has appointed a partner to its office in Washington, DC.

Jennifer Burdman joins from the law firm Crowell & Moring, where she worked as a counsel.

Burdman’s practice covers buying and protecting IP for clients. She has experience working with companies in the medical devices and pharmaceuticals sector.

In August, the firm added to its Palo Alto office with the appointment of Thomas Gray.

Holmes Hawking, leader of King & Spalding’s IP group, said: “We are pleased to bring Jennifer on board to establish an on-the-ground IP team in Washington.”
