Mr Jesse Weiss > Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP > New York, United States > Lawyer Profile

Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP fields a team of longstanding experts in its antitrust practice, covering advisory, litigation and investigations work and handling both domestic and cross-border transactions while remaining ‘really on top of the industry and relevant trends’. Its work representing the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Paramount Global in its pending $28bn merger with Skydance Media, LLC is particularly indicative of this strength. Christine Varney heads the team from New York, leveraging previous experience as both the US Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust, and as a Commissioner of the FTC. Co-head Noah Joshua Phillips, based in Washington DC, ‘is excellent all-around’ with experience spanning the consumer product, defense, pharmaceutical, and retail industries. Combining litigation and antitrust expertise, Maggie Segall is a go-to for high-value, complex transactions in New York. Also in New York, Jesse Weiss was promoted to partner in January 2024, ‘a real expert and a great business partner’. In January 2025 Andrew Finch moved over from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.
