Investigations & Enforcement (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Sullivan & Cromwell has developed a stellar reputation as an international law firm, combining a leading US law practice headquartered in New York with top-end expertise throughout its offices across Asia-Pacific and European financial centres. The firm provides broad international capabilities on substantial transactions and high-value contentious cases, appealing to a broad range of international companies and banks based both within and outside the USA.

The law firm's globally integrated investigations and white-collar crime team operates with the New York office at its heart. It is renowned for its focus on the financial sector and has a strong track record of representing banks in a variety of disputes and investigations arising from the 2008 crisis. The law firm is noted for its capacity to handle cross-border cases, including large class action claims, with the aid of teams overseas such as those in Hong Kong, London, Paris, Frankfurt and a recently established practice in Brussels. For jurisdictions outside the firm's office coverage, the team coordinates impressively with local counsel, typically drawn from its pool of relationship firms across the globe.
