King & Spalding said it hired Sheel Patel as a partner in the firm’s corporate, finance and investments practice group in New York.
Patel, previously a partner at Jones Day, brings more than a decade of experience working on complex commercial financing transactions, according to King & Spalding. He has represented private capital providers, financial institutions, private equity sponsors and corporate borrowers, among others.
“Its collegial and entrepreneurial culture is what drew me to the firm,” Patel said in a statement. “Its depth and experience across all types of complex financing transactions and restructuring matters is highly synergistic to my practice.”
Patel received his undergraduate degree from Tulane University and his J.D. from Hofstra University. He is the second addition to the practice group this month, after structured finance partner David Ridenour joined the Washington office.
