Lawdragon Highlights Cravath’s Washington, D.C. Office in Roundtable Conversation Feature

February 21, 2023

In connection with its pending 2023 magazine release, Lawdragon published to its website an article entitled “King’s Gambit: Cravath Moves In on D.C.” The profile highlights the Firm’s opening of its Washington, D.C. office and features Cravath partners Jennifer S. Leete, Jelena McWilliams, Noah Joshua Phillips and Elad L. Roisman in a roundtable conversation about their respective careers in government—from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve—as well as the inter‑disciplinary and collaborative practice they are building from the nation’s capital. “The best way to deal with Washington is holistically, and that is certainly the approach we take at Cravath,” McWilliams told Lawdragon. Encapsulating the roundtable discussion, Lawdragon characterized Cravath’s opening Washington, D.C. as “[t]he right people,” “[t]he right place,” and “[t]he right time.”
