Cravath is a U.S. law firm established in 1819, with a history spanning more than two centuries. The firm operates from offices in New York, London, and Washington, D.C., providing legal services across corporate, litigation, tax, executive compensation and benefits, and trusts and estates matters.
The firm is known for developing the Cravath System, a distinct method of hiring, training, and compensating lawyers. Cravath states that its goal is to serve as the firm of choice for clients facing their most challenging legal issues, rather than pursuing growth through the number of offices or lawyers.
