With only 34 litigation partners, Cravath, Swaine & Moore has one of the smallest litigation departments in the Am Law 100. It’s the only finalist for Litigation Department of the Year with just one U.S. office. Yet the firm’s litigators match or exceed their competitors’ strength. They have repeatedly gone the distance in some of the thorniest, most complex trials and appeals in the last two years.

“When you look at the significance of the cases that we handle each and every year, we’re punching far above our weight class. The cases that come to us are the cases that are make-or-break for our clients,” says litigation partner Kevin Orsini.
