NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - June 08, 2016) - King & Spalding has recruited Jeffrey A. Misher as a partner to its Global Finance practice in New York. Misher will focus on advising U.S. and international banks and financial institutions on a selection of structured finance and leveraged finance matters.

Misher received his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University in 2000 and his J.D. from New York University School of Law in 2003.
