Cravath has been known as one of the premier U.S. law firms for nearly two centuries. Each of our practice areas is highly regarded, and our lawyers are recognized around the world for their commitment to the representation of our clients’ interests. Throughout our history, we have played a central role in developing how law is practiced, how lawyers are trained and how business risk is managed. We are not, and do not strive to be, the largest law firm measured by number of offices or lawyers. Our goal is to be the firm of choice for clients with respect to their most challenging legal issues, most significant business transactions and most critical disputes.

The Cravath System

Each Cravath client is served by lawyers steeped in the distinctive traditions and environment of the Cravath System. The hiring, training, compensation and promotion of our lawyers all share a common source and serve the same goal—the efficient and effective representation of our clients’ interests.

Diversity at Cravath

Consistent with our long-held view that excellence and creativity arise from many sources, diversity is a bedrock principle at Cravath.

History

For nearly 200 years, our Firm has been handling the most challenging assignments for the most interesting clients. Throughout our history, we have served our clients by delivering consistently high-quality services.

Our Lawyers

Our lawyers embrace challenge and practice law with the commitment that has built and sustained our singular reputation for nearly two centuries.

Pro Bono

Cravath has a long-standing commitment to pro bono work. The full resources of the Firm are brought to bear in support of every pro bono matter.
