In October 2019, Cravath was named a finalist for The American Lawyer’s “Law Firm of the Year” award, which honors firms whose members “go beyond their day jobs or the core of what their institutions do on a routine basis and make a bigger difference for their organizations, their clients, their communities and the profession as a whole.”

Cravath was also named a finalist for “Litigation Department of the Year,” which recognizes firms “at the core of industry‑changing matters, leading the charge on their clients’ most important cases and operating at a level that sets them apart from their peers.”

Cravath chairman Evan Chesler was named a “Litigator of the Year,” the equivalent individual honor.

The winner in each category will be announced at The American Lawyer Industry Awards, held in New York City on December 4, 2019.
