Former Justice Department attorney Alexander K. Haas has joined the Washington office of King and Spalding, the law firm announced Tuesday.
Haas served for eight years with the DOJ, working the last two years as counsel for the Office of Law and Policy in the DOJ’s National Security Division. He was also selected as a founding member of the division’s appellate section, and before that, worked for six years in the Civil Division.

“I am thrilled to be entering private practice at one of the most dynamic and well-respected law firms,” Haas said in a statement. “King & Spalding’s litigation and antitrust practice is unparalleled, and I could not be more excited to join such a talented group of lawyers.”
Haas will focus on civil litigation with a focus on regulatory enforcement proceedings and government investigations, according to the release.
“During his time at the Department of Justice, Alex has cultivated a diverse expertise that will benefit King & Spalding clients across a number of practices areas,” said Kevin R. Sullivan, practice leader for the firm’s litigation and antitrust group in Washington, D.C. “He is a significant addition to our Washington office.”
Correction: An earlier version of this story said that Haas had spent six years in the DOJ Civil Rights Division.
