“This high-end U.S. outfit has a distinctly international outlook. … The firm wins universal acclaim for its corporate work and is acknowledged as a global force in the banking and finance sector. It is one of very few firms to have actually boosted performance during the financial crisis, thanks primarily to regulatory and restructuring work. … Its client base is rich in blue chips impressed with Cleary's ability to ‘digest the commercial issues and communicate our concerns.’”
Chambers Global (2011)
“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.”
Chambers Global (2010)
“‘Very good in negotiations and very smart at solving problems. They tend to be better than others on the bigger regulatory issues.’”
“Cleary Gottlieb is arguably one of the leaders for international work, advising foreign parties entering the US market. The group benefits from the firm’s strong European presence, while utilizing the resources of the New York and Washington, DC offices to conduct nationwide work. … ‘You get a lot of partner attention.’”
Chambers USA (2010)
