Cravath Named M&A Law Firm of the Year and IP Litigation Law Firm of the Year by U.S. News & World Report-Best Lawyers

November 17, 2011

On November 1, 2011, Cravath received the 2011-2012 U.S. News & World Report-Best Lawyers “Law Firm of the Year” award in two practice areas: Mergers & Acquisitions Law and Intellectual Property Litigation. Only one law firm is honored in each practice area category and no firm may be recognized in more than two categories. Awards are given based on a combination of client survey results, feedback from peers who practice in the same area of law and an evaluation of a firm’s work during the past year.

The 2011-2012 “Best Law Firms” feature was published in a special edition of the U.S. News & World Report magazine. Cravath received first-tier rankings in a total of 34 practice area categories:
