The Firm was ranked in Tier 1 for its Antitrust, General Commercial, Insurance, Securities and White Collar Practices. The Firm was also ranked Tier 2 for its Bankruptcy and Intellectual Property Practices. Benchmark Litigation notes that Simpson Thacher “enjoys gold-standard status in a broad and varied spectrum of practice areas.” In addition, the publication quotes a client source saying, “No matter who I deal with from their team, I always receive premium service from a litigator who not only knows how to argue a case but also why they are doing it. What is the business end goal? I never have to worry about whether they are ‘getting it’ or not.”
The New York and Washington, D.C. practices were both listed again as “Highly Recommended,” the publication’s top ranking, and the California litigation practice was listed as “Recommended.”
Benchmark also recognized 29 of the Firm’s litigation partners in this year’s rankings and additional accolades, including the recent “Top 250 Women in Litigation” list and the “Under 40 Hot List.” The publication quotes a peer source saying, “Simpson Thacher has done a better job than many others in terms of staffing cases with the expertly groomed younger people who are now hitting that ‘sweet spot’ of their careers.”
