Our success is the result of the quality of our lawyers, who are broadly and deeply trained. Since Sullivan & Cromwell was first founded, our approach has been to recruit the very best US law school graduates and train them to be all-round “generalist” business lawyers within broad practice areas. We promote lawyers to partner almost entirely from among our own associates. The result is a partnership with a unique diversity of experience, exceptional professional judgement and a demonstrated history of innovation.

In September 2013, the first trainee solicitors in the Firm’s history joined our London office. By recruiting the very best law and non-law students and graduates to train as solicitors, we aim to continue the organic growth of our London office and our English and EU law practices. We expect our trainees to continue their careers with us, and to serve as future leaders of the Firm. Our London lawyer have a unique opportunity to be part of a close-knit community and a broader global network of the top legal minds.
