Competition/Antitrust (International & Cross-Border) - USA
Band 4
What the Team is Known For
Cravath's New York-centred antitrust team handles a full range of global antitrust matters in partnership with elite firms all around the world. The team is highly regarded in corporate circles and its close working relationship with the corporate and litigation teams attracts clients from the financial services sector and those handling complex merger and joint venture matters as well as competition litigation. While the law firm's primary focus is to provide advice on US law, it does appear as coordinating counsel on international transactions.
Cravath, Swaine & Moore is highlighted as an elite-level example of an independent, lockstep firm with significant global influence. The law firm's approach towards international work revolves around maintaining a high-quality partner-led practice in New York which collaborates effectively with other elite independent firms based overseas to advise on cross-border matters. The law firm's work is driven predominantly from its New York base, where the bulk of its expertise and resources are situated. Cravath also has a long-established London office which provides clients with a European centre of gravity and a high-performing capital markets group. The firm handles complex and high-value transactions, particularly public M&A involving US-listed corporations, regularly acting as global deal counsel and coordinating legal work across various jurisdictions. Its elite clientele also benefits from the law firm's capabilities representing them in both US and international disputes and investigations.
