Cravath, Swaine & Moore is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious law firms, both nationally and globally.
The firm takes on prominent high-stakes cases, from Disney s landmark $85 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2018 to ongoing lawsuits against Apple and Google by Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite.
Many of the partners collaborate with one another on cases, incentivized in part by the Cravath System, which emphasizes hiring and training top talent from law schools as generalists and promoting from within the firm.
