Haynes and Boone has added a litigation practice to its finance-focused Charlotte, North Carolina, office, hiring King & Spalding trial and global disputes partner Chelsea Corey, who handles high-stakes commercial litigation.

“We’ve always wanted an office that provides all of the services required in a city like Charlotte, and in the financial world it’s helpful to have litigators in the office,” said Justin Riess, managing partner of the Charlotte office.
