Firm Overview:

Clients turn to Proskauer when a matter demands excellence and innovation. With 800+ lawyers in key financial centres around the world, the Firm is known for its pragmatic and commercial approach to a full spectrum of transactional and contentious practices.

Since 1875, Proskauer has helped define — and helped clients navigate — nearly every emergent field of law. Proskauer is committed to excellence as a best-in-class, trusted advisor to prestigious clients as they navigate complex challenges and seek to capitalise on market opportunities. Today, much of that work happens at the intersection of private capital and global finance, and in the sectors in which they invest.

Lawyers work seamlessly across practices, industries and jurisdictions with asset managers, private equity and venture capital firms, Fortune 500 and FTSE companies, major sports leagues, entertainment industry legends and other industry-redefining companies.

Over the Firm’s 150-year history, the issues may have changed, but one constant is that Proskauer’s work continues to shape the future.
