Cravath Named Finalist for The American Lawyer’s Law Firm of the Year and Litigation Department of the Year Awards

October 09, 2019

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.”

In its January 2020 edition, The American Lawyer published a profile of Cravath’s litigation department in connection with its being named a finalist. Please click here to read the article.

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