King & Watkins is an international law firm built around direct access to counsel. Watkins, Attorney at Law, personally leads every engagement — from cross-border transactions to high-stakes arbitration — with no call centers and no intake forms between you and your lawyer.
Six focused practices, one point of contact. Every matter is led directly by Watkins, Attorney at Law, supported by local counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.
Structuring, negotiating and closing acquisitions, joint ventures and financings that span multiple legal systems and regulatory regimes.
Representing corporations and institutions in complex disputes before international arbitral tribunals and cross-border litigation venues.
Investor, executive and specialist visa strategy for individuals and companies relocating talent and capital across jurisdictions.
Protecting and enforcing IP portfolios, licensing and technology agreements for companies operating in multiple markets.
Guiding multinational operations through sanctions, export controls, customs and regulatory frameworks in each market they touch.
Structuring cross-border estates, trusts and asset protection for globally mobile individuals and families.
King & Watkins works with a vetted network of correspondent counsel so that a single engagement can move seamlessly from one jurisdiction to the next — without you having to manage multiple law firms yourself.
Discuss Your MatterYou speak with Watkins directly by phone or email — never a paralegal pipeline or an anonymous intake form.
Deep experience structuring matters that touch multiple legal systems, currencies and regulatory regimes at once.
Clear scope and fee structure agreed before work begins — no surprise billing, no hidden layers of staffing.
Confidential handling of sensitive corporate, personal and reputational matters as a baseline, not an upsell.
Watkins ran our acquisition across three jurisdictions and somehow made it feel like one conversation. Every call was answered personally.
We needed arbitration counsel who understood both the local courts and the international tribunal at once. That combination is rare.
No forms, no portals — I called, explained the situation, and had a strategy memo within forty-eight hours. That responsiveness matters.
