S&C was recognized by the Global Competition Review 100's 2012 publication as an "Elite" New York firm. The publication recognizes the top antitrust practices around the world. As noted in the guide, “New York heavyweight Sullivan & Cromwell LLP has long had a stake in Wall Street and New York’s considerable financial services industry. And since the global financial crisis crested in 2008, it’s been a frequent target of both antitrust enforcers and the private bar. That combination has positioned the widely respected antitrust team at Sullivan as one of the busiest practices in the city.”
