What the Team is Known For
Cravath, Swaine & Moore is highlighted as an elite-level example of an independent, lockstep firm with significant global influence. Its 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 firm's work is driven predominantly from its New York base, where the bulk of its expertise and resources are situated. It 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 some of the world's most complex and high-value transactions, particularly public M&A involving US-listed corporations. The firm's M&A team is known for its strong capabilities in coordinating local firms worldwide on global transactions and is seen as an expert in acting as lead deal counsel, directing negotiations and providing strategic oversight in relation to execution in foreign jurisdictions. The team is also a top choice for foreign investors inbound to the USA and on international transactions governed by US law, with a significant client base in Europe.
