“Cleary Gottlieb is considered to outstrip many of its peers when a merger or dispute demands expertise on both domestic and international fronts. ‘Without a doubt deserving of its place among the US elite,’ the substantial team has maintained a superb reputation for antitrust work over the years and continues to represent the world’s largest companies in complex and high-stake matters in the most closely monitored industries.”
“This New York-centered firm has a transactional tax practice of national repute and has made its name in cross-border and international M&A financing. Sources say: ‘The attorneys are marvelous and their terrific practice representing the prominent investment banks really makes them stand out.’”
Chambers Global (2010)
“Domestically, the firm has long enjoyed close working ties with the SEC and accordingly it possesses ‘the best insight into US securities regulations – they drew the roadmap to Sarbanes-Oxley.’ One client declares: ‘I have never been associated with lawyers who are more talented at guiding me through the most impenetrable securities concepts.’”
“The firm is well connected at the US government agency level, which elicits bountiful praise from clients: according to one, its experienced attorneys ‘have great communication skills and really know how to get a message across’ to such entities such as the FTC and Department of Justice (DOJ).”
Chambers Global (2009)
“‘When in doubt, I call Cleary,’ says one client. The team offers a broad foundation of premium-quality finance expertise, including projects, M&A or securities, delivered by ‘pleasant, hard-working, creative and collegial attorneys without egos.’”
“Handling a great deal of work generated by the financial downturn, Cleary Gottlieb has dominated on a spate of headline-grabbing rescue operations, recapitalizations and regulatory transformations. … This is a uniformly high-quality team, with interviewees enthusing: ‘They know what they are doing and they don’t make mistakes – they put all the resources that are needed into a matter.’”
“With its specialty in financial products and capital markets, it is ideally placed to take advantage of the financial institution-related work that has emerged in recent months.”
Chambers USA (2009)
“This New York firm is described by one client as ‘our primary go-to law firm for anything that’s difficult and requires quality lawyers.’ Clients also highlight the firm’s ability to ‘muster resources quickly on matters where time sensitivity is of the essence,’ including across international offices.”
“Housing tax lawyers in a single New York office, this prestigious firm has developed a truly national reputation: ‘It’s an understatement to say that Cleary is first-rate,’ admit peers.”
Chambers USA (2008)
“A ‘powerful presence’ in the M&A landscape, this excellent firm provides a ‘uniformly high-quality’ service to clients throughout the USA and beyond.”
“Sources feel the DC [antitrust] team displays ‘great communication skills and knows how to get a message across to the government agencies.’”
