Sullivan & Cromwell Co-Chair Robert Giuffra Jr. discussed the Firm’s distinction as a Law360 “Firm of the Year” after it earned nine “Practice Group of the Year” awards, tying for the most wins of any firm.
“Our business plan is pretty simple,” Bob told Law360. “We want to represent the most important corporations, individuals and firms in their most important matters across the world.” Bob attributed this success to the Firm’s generalist model, in which lawyers are trained in a range of practices, and its collaborative, multidisciplinary approach. “We're able to have more lawyers working on the most significant matters,” he said. “We have that nimbleness that allows the same lawyer to work in multiple practice areas.”
S&C was named a “Practice Group of the Year” for Banking, Bankruptcy, Capital Markets, Fintech, Life Sciences, Mergers & Acquisitions, Project Finance, Tax and Transportation. Among other noteworthy matters, S&C advised on the largest IPO of 2023, the largest-ever all cash medtech deal and several major litigation wins.
