Led by two former Commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)–one of whom also served as U.S. Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust at the Department of Justice (DOJ)–Cravath’s highly regarded antitrust practice provides a wealth of experience and insight with respect to formulating global antitrust strategy, securing regulatory clearance for mergers and acquisitions, and bringing or defending against charges of anticompetitive behavior. Clients turn to Cravath for their most significant—and often unprecedented—antitrust concerns, and we have played a central role in industry‑shaping competition matters for decades.

Cravath has an extensive track record of success in federal and state appellate courts across the country, for both appellants and appellees, repeatedly going “the distance in some of the thorniest, most complex trials and appeals” in the last several years. (The American Lawyer) We successfully defend positive results we achieve in the trial courts, including interlocutory appeals and appeals following trial or other disposition, and—in the face of adverse decisions—we persevere to obtain the best outcome for our clients, shaping the law in the process.

Cravath frequently and successfully represents U.S. and non-U.S. entities in domestic and international arbitrations involving diverse industries and various areas of the law. Our representations extend to clients in Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as sovereign nations, often involving multibillion‑dollar disputes.

The event, entitled “The Consequences of AI Use on Society and Policy,” brought together global experts and top academics to explore how AI is reshaping public policy and the economy. Elad spoke on a keynote panel entitled “A Policy Agenda for AI,” which explored how AI is reshaping international labor and financial markets, the implications of these changes for global policy and considerations for policymakers.
