Robert BaronCravath, Swaine & Moore LLP

Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP in New York is known for its ‘subject matter expertise, professionalism‘ and its lawyers are described as ‘highly competent, professional, effective and respectful‘. The firm’s work spans individual, class and derivative actions arising from planned or hostile transactions, and its litigators are frequently hired in instances where the firm’s M&A team did not handle the initial deal. Gary Bornstein and Kevin Orsini are the lead partners. Bornstein acted for Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. in multiple stockholder actions concerning its pending $5.2bn acquisition by an investor group led by Apollo. Robert Baron and Justin Clarke handled a challenge to the pending $1.9bn acquisition of investment bank Cowen Inc. by TD Bank Group. Up-and-coming partner Rory Leraris continues to build on her impressive track record.
