Sullivan & Cromwell’s position as the leading U.S. financial services practice is built on the trust our clients put in us when we handle their most important and complex matters and on our history of being at the leading edge of financial services regulation and innovation in the industry.
Our practice is distinguished by its industry focus and cross-disciplinary approach – unique among our peers. Our financial services lawyers work on an integrated basis on matters involving the full range of our clients’ needs, such as mergers and acquisitions, bank regulation, capital markets, digital assets, fintech, economic sanctions and financial crime, commodities, futures and derivatives, consumer finance, and investigations and litigation. Our approach has been developed to provide the best client service and, specifically, to mitigate the risk of “blind spots” created by a more traditionally siloed practice.
“Sullivan & Cromwell is head and shoulders above everyone else. A select number of law firms can play in this space and they are our go-to.”
