Crisis Management

Sullivan & Cromwell has an extensive track record of helping clients navigate some of the biggest crises in recent history. During the 2008 financial crisis, S&C was the trusted advisor for many major banks. Institutions including AIG, Barclays, Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Lehman Brothers turned to S&C for guidance through crisis-related merger and financing advice, and then through the defense of the aggressive investigations, enforcement actions, and civil litigation that ensued. S&C remains the go-to firm for high-profile, industry-shaping cases today.

S&C guided Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler through their emissions crises, BP through its Deepwater Horizon settlement, and Wells Fargo through high-stakes investigations pertaining to its sales practices. Most recently, we have been advising FTX in its Chapter 11 proceedings and internal and governmental investigations, and representing the parent of Silicon Valley Bank in its Chapter 11 cases. Multinational corporations, including BHP, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Microsoft, and Walgreens Boots Alliance, trust S&C to guide them through their most complex and critical matters.
