Sullivan & Cromwell has been recognized as one of
Law360’s Securities Practice Groups of the Year for 2019. The annual awards recognize top law firms for their work on deals or litigation that are notable for their size, complexity or significance.
S&C is renowned for its preeminent securities law practice, and frequently plays a prominent role in the highest-profile securities matters. As Law360 recognized, the Firm’s unique approach to the practice of law allows it to prevail in long-term, high-stakes cases that others might settle. Sharon Nelles, managing partner of the litigation practice, told the publication, “We can field the appropriate team for any case that comes in,” adding that “the same teams are taking care of every aspect of those cases, which leads to flawless execution for the clients.”
