Former CFIUS Official at Treasury Becomes Partner at King & Spalding

J. Philip Ludvigson, a former Treasury Department official, has joined King & Spalding as a partner in the Washington, D.C.-based International Trade practice, the firm announced. Serving at Treasury from 2019 to 2022, Ludvigson worked in the Office of Investment Security -- the office that chairs the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. -- as the acting deputy assistant secretary and was the founding director for monitoring and enforcement. Prior to his time at Treasury, Ludvigson served as the acting director of foreign investment risk management at the Department of Homeland Security, guiding the agency's CFIUS and Team Telecom participation, the firm said. Ludvigson's practice will center on advising clients on CFIUS jurisdiction and risk-related concerns, King & Spalding said.
