Sullivan & Cromwell

Sullivan & Cromwell LLP is a global law firm providing legal advice and representation to clients worldwide. The firm has been in operation for more than 140 years and works across core practice areas and geographic markets, with a client base split nearly evenly between U.S. and non-U.S. entities. It serves industrial and commercial companies, financial institutions, private funds, governments, and educational, charitable and cultural institutions, as well as individuals, estates and trusts.

Lawyers operate as a single partnership without geographic division, delivering full-service counsel through broadly and deeply trained attorneys. The firm describes its model as one of generalist training within broad practice areas, with work tailored to the specific needs of individual clients.

For lawyers considering a career at the firm, its stated approach to hiring and development is notable. Sullivan & Cromwell recruits from among the best law school graduates and promotes lawyers to partner almost entirely from among its own associates. The firm identifies the quality of its lawyers as the source of its success, and describes a culture built on diverse experience, professional judgement and innovation.
