Corporate

From the construction of the American railroads in the nineteenth century to the launch of global media companies in the twenty‑first, Cravath has been at the center of many of the world’s most important transactions. The hallmark of our corporate practice is our ability to bring together all of the Firm’s disciplines in an integrated and collaborative approach.

Cravath’s distinctive and rigorous system of training enables our lawyers to develop experience in a diverse range of areas, including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, banking and credit, regulatory matters, corporate governance and board advisory, intellectual property and financial restructuring and reorganization. Our generalist training and internal cohesion allow us to draw upon a unique depth of corporate expertise in a highly efficient and effective way, delivering exceptional value to our clients.

Our counsel extends to helping companies, boards and executives navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging technologies and trends in a global economy. This includes cybersecurity and data privacy, Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) concerns, environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations and other stakeholder engagement.

Our Corporate Department is a seven‑time winner of the Chambers USA Award for Excellence. Cravath has been recognized as a Law Firm of the Year by Law360 and the “Most Innovative Law Firm for Legal Expertise” by the Financial Times in its North America Innovative Lawyers report, which noted that the Firm “stood out for its persistence and ability to help define industries.” We have earned repeated praise from clients and the market:
