Zahlreiche Fachzeitschriften berichten von den Stärken unserer internationalen Praxis. Nachfolgend ist eine kleine Auswahl aktueller Kommentare zu Cleary Gottlieb aufgeführt, die den einschlägigen Rechts- und Wirtschaftspublikationen entnommen wurden.
“‘Cleary Gottlieb has it all: the broadest reach, the strongest history and the most recognised name,’ was the verdict on the Latin American prowess of this New York powerhouse.” (Chambers Global 2008; Latin America)
“The firm continues to dominate the capital markets sphere, playing a prominent role in the highest-profile deals at home and abroad for several years. Such deal exposure has spawned a team of lawyers that is ‘wonderfully experienced - they combine decades of securities law experience both as regulatory and transactional practitioners and are rightly considered the leading experts for securities law in the USA.’” (Chambers Global 2008; United States)
“Issuers say the legal advice from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, in particular for debt sales, is top-notch.” (LatinFinance, July 2006)
“Widely renowned for its South Korea practice, the firm has ‘bags of experience of working in the region.’ Armed with 12 Korean-speaking lawyers, the team handles a variety of corporate, M&A and finance work for a range of investment banks and private equity funds. However, its ‘undisputed’ capital markets practice is what makes the firm ‘stand out from the crowd.’” (Chambers Global 2008; South Korea)
“Having been on the continent for longer than most of its US counterparts, the firm has real strength across the key corporate markets where it services high-profile, mostly financial institution, clients. Peers attest to this quality outfit’s ‘fantastic integration across its network - it is seamless.’” (Chambers Global 2008; United Kingdom)
“Conversely, U.S. law firm development outside of the country has been at best sporadic—even opportunistic—rather than strategic. There are two key exceptions: Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton has, with relatively small offices in key locations, developed over the last 25 years an enviable position on cross-border equity capital markets transactions. Admittedly, much of this work is actually done in New York, but the firm does have a major presence in the focused area of international equity transactions.” (The American Lawyer, February 2006)
“Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Europe’s most venerable and arguably pre-eminent antitrust practice opened its Brussels office in the 1950s. The firm, which boasts 12 antitrust partners in Europe, has featured in many of the landmark antitrust investigations and cases over the last decade such as Phillip Morris and GE/Honeywell.” (Focus Europe, January 2006)
“Cleary Gottlieb is still seen as the crème de la crème when it comes to competition and antitrust. Its extensive and varied expertise places the firm at the pinnacle of European competition law and clients identify the lawyers as ‘brilliantly rigorous and extremely professional - they know the bureaucratic machine inside out.’” (Chambers Global 2008; Belgium)
“The Paris office is a jewel in this US outfit’s capital markets crown, and is deeply embedded in the French legal landscape, to the extent that it is ‘virtually a local firm.’ The group has long dominated the equity capital markets arena, where it enjoys fabulous relations with a roster of the biggest French banks and corporations.” (Chambers Global 2008; France)
“If the best offense is a good defense, then the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission clearly sees international law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP as both a formidable adversary and a fertile ground for hiring of top-notch talent.” (Securities Law Bulletin, December 2005)
“This ‘exemplary US firm’ comes top of the list for many issuers and underwriters, who believe that ‘the professional, high-quality service of its superb international network is exceptional.’” (Chambers Global 2008; Germany)
“The competition team at Cleary Gottlieb comes out on top for its ‘copious experience and capacity.’ It dominates the Italian competition/antitrust market, and is lauded for its skills in competition litigation and other proceedings before the ECJ.” (Chambers Global 2008; Italy)
“Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton’s work with Iraq on a $130 billion debt renegotiation, the largest ever, cemented the firm’s status as the biggest legal adviser to countries dealing with creditors.” (Bloomberg, December 2005)
“Commended for both its debt and equity work, the capital markets team fields US and UK-qualified lawyers who work across the region, from India and Indonesia to the PRC. The firm is also well known for its ‘top-class Korea team.’” (Chambers Global 2008; China/Hong Kong)
“This ‘premier capital markets’ practice is endorsed by peers for its ‘clear niche focus and formidable ability.’ Supported from London, the Moscow branch acts for a wide variety of issuers and underwriters from both home and abroad.” (Chambers Global 2008; Russia)
