Founding partner of King & Watkins, admitted across multiple bars, and trusted by corporations and individuals to handle matters that don't respect borders.
Watkins founded King & Watkins on a simple premise: clients with cross-border problems deserve a lawyer they can actually reach, not a rotating cast of associates behind an intake system. Every matter that comes through the firm is personally reviewed and led by Watkins from the first call through to close.
Over two decades of practice, Watkins has advised multinational corporations on acquisitions and joint ventures, represented parties in international arbitration, and guided private clients through immigration, estate and asset-protection matters that span multiple jurisdictions at once. The practice is built around direct communication — a phone call or an email, answered by the person actually doing the work.
Founded on a direct-access model: no intake forms, no call queues — clients reach their attorney directly by phone or email.
Correspondent counsel network built across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Six core practice areas serving corporations, institutions and private clients on matters spanning 30+ jurisdictions.
