About the Firm5, 6
New York-based Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen, & Katz is one of the most prominent business firms in the country. The firm has practice groups in the following areas: corporate, litigation, creditors’ rights, tax, executive compensation and benefits, antitrust, and real estate. The firm had maintained a oneto- one ratio between partners and associates for some time. Because of its relatively small size and unusual partner-to-associate ratio, associates are able to take on a lot of responsibility early-on. The working environment is hands-on and team-oriented, which encourages the growth and success of the firm. Attorneys pride themselves on their independent thinking, creativity, and highly energized atmosphere. They enjoy extremely competitive salaries at this highly regarded and very prominent law firm. The firm also encourages its attorneys to undertake pro bono projects.
