Growth in Challenging Times
Despite the trend of law firms moving towards the glistening high-rises of Century City, King & Spalding has demonstrated resilience. Their downtown presence endures, supported by a renewed commitment to their 36,544-square-foot office located at 633 W.

Fostering Community Connections
Johnson is not just concerned with numbers; she acknowledges the heart of their practice—the people they serve. By fostering strong community relationships and focusing on grassroots initiatives, she aims to create an inclusive and supportive environment for both employees and clients alike. Her approach brings a fresh perspective on local engagement, emphasizing the importance of understanding and meeting the needs of the community.
A Bright Future Ahead
