King & Spalding has announced that financial services litigation partner Jamie Dycus has joined the firm's Trial and Global Disputes practice.

He is the latest in a line of financial services-focused litigation partners to join the firm's New York office after Matt Biben, David Lessers, and Damien Marshall.

In his regulatory practice, Dycus represents financial institutions facing supervisory, investigative, and enforcement action by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and other federal regulators. He has handled numerous large class actions and other disputes for banks, broker-dealers, trading firms and other clients subject to claims under banking, antitrust, securities, and consumer protection laws.

Dycus earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University and his J.D. from Yale Law School. He was working with WilmerHale.

Andy Bayman, the head of King & Spalding's Trial and Global Disputes practice group, said, "Dycus is a smart, thoughtful lawyer and strategic thinker. His extensive experience in the financial services industry aligns perfectly with our client's needs and our strategy to build a top-tier financial services litigation practice in New York. He adds significant depth to our bench of lawyers serving financial institutions. He expands our capabilities in CFPB and other consumer-oriented financial services litigation and regulatory work."

Dycus added, "King & Spalding offers me an amazing opportunity to grow my practice while collaborating with some of the most talented financial services litigators and regulatory lawyers in the business. The firm has a strong vision and is well on its way to becoming a premier practice in this area. I am excited to contribute to that growth."
