2 King & Spalding has been engaged by Claimant on a hybrid “capped fee and success fee” basis in relation to the law firm’s investment of time (hours) on this matter. This amount is composed of USD 2,425,000.00 of fees invoiced by King & Spalding on a capped-fee basis, and a further USD 786,552.50 of fees invoiced and payable if Claimant succeeds on jurisdiction. In light of the success fee component, Claimant seeks recovery of the law firm’s time investment in the case in excess of the cap at normal hourly rates. Thus, Claimant seeks USD 3,240,552.50 in legal fees, which equates to King & Spalding’s total time investment in the case at normal hourly rates. ↩
