King & Spalding announced today that Daniel Nam has joined the firm as a partner in its Corporate practice group. He is based in the New York office. Nam joins King & Spalding from White & Case, where he was a partner. 

Nam represents issuers, financial sponsors and investment banks in public and private financing transactions, including both high-yield and investment grade debt, equity and equity-linked securities offerings, in a wide range of industries. He also represents clients on bridge financing commitments, debt tender offers, exchange and consent solicitations as well as general securities and corporate matters. He has extensive experience representing domestic issuers, as well as companies with substantial operations in Latin America.

“Dan enhances our broader corporate offering in New York and beyond through his exceptional capital markets experience that complements our existing capital markets capabilities and our strengths in private equity, M&A, restructuring, and disputes work,” said Jonathan Melmed, co-leader of the firm’s Corporate practice group. “Dan is a technically excellent capital markets practitioner with a high level of market stature, who strengthens our ability to execute high-yield and other debt transactions for private equity sponsors and portfolio companies and deepens our already strong Latin America offering.”

Nam received his J.D. and L.L.M. in International Comparative Law from Cornell University Law School and his B.A. from the University of California, Berkley.

“The opportunity to further strengthen the capital markets practice at King & Spalding is particularly exciting because of how the firm has structured its platform to foster cross-practice collaboration and teamwork,” said Nam. “I look forward to working with my new King & Spalding colleagues to expand upon the firm’s relationships with its impressive roster of existing clients and building new ones.”
