Sullivan & Cromwell is widely recognized as a premier litigation firm with one of the leading litigation practices worldwide. The Firm’s exceptional reputation stems from more than 100 years of experience representing clients in a broad range of litigation matters, including cross-border investigations, international disputes and many landmark cases that have shaped the development of U.S. law. In the 2009 and 2008 editions of Euromoney’s “Benchmark: America’s Leading Litigation Firms and Attorneys,” S&C and its lawyers garnered top honors. Chambers Global: Guide to the World’s Leading Lawyers for Business 2008 put S&C in the top tier of legal advisors in its global Dispute Resolution category, citing S&C’s “‘uniform excellence’ in all areas of complex litigation.”

Drawing on S&C’s deep experience and leadership position as a corporate, financial and transactional firm, the Firm’s lawyers form seamlessly integrated teams across relevant practice areas and are prepared to handle any related or follow-on matters that arise in the course of litigation.

S&C’s litigators are recognized leaders in a wide range of practice areas, including antitrust; appellate; arbitration; banking; bankruptcy and creditors’ rights; commodities, futures and derivatives litigation; criminal defense and investigations; environmental law; estates litigation; intellectual property; labor and employment litigation; products liability; and securities litigation.

Many of the Firm’s younger partners are among the most successful litigators at S&C. They have been recognized as “rising stars” in prominent legal business media, including The Lawdragon 500: New Stars, New World; The National Law Journal’s annual “40 Under 40” ranking; and The American Lawyer’s “The Young Litigators Fab 50”—50 litigators under 45 who are expected to be “leading the field for years to come.”
