The 750+ lawyers in our New York office draw on the firm’s history of service and excellence to handle sophisticated, interdisciplinary, and cross-border work, including complex controversies and landmark transactions across a range of industries and geographies.
We represent a full spectrum of companies and organizations — from startups to Fortune 100 corporations, global financial institutions to alternative investment vehicles. We are particularly experienced in the industries that drive the economy, including financial services, technology, life sciences, energy, and real estate, as well as entertainment, sports, and media.
Latham’s transactional practices — from capital markets, M&A, and private equity to bank finance, restructuring, and tax — regularly top the legal industry league tables. This market-leading position contributes to our command of commercial terms and our ability to advise on the most cutting-edge and challenging deals.
Our formidable litigation practices — including white collar defense, complex commercial litigation, intellectual property, and securities litigation — routinely handle the most consequential and high-profile matters for a worldwide client base. Our trial-tested litigators offer a superior record of success in venues throughout the United States and world in every manner of dispute.
As one of the world’s largest providers of pro bono legal services, Latham takes on matters in nearly every area of public interest law. In New York, we help provide legal services to those most in need by partnering with nearly every key legal services organization in the city, from The Legal Aid Society and New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, to Sanctuary for Families, the New York Civil Liberties Union, and the Fair Housing Justice Center.
Our work in the community addresses a host of issues, including a longstanding focus on immigration matters and a range of high-impact litigation to advance human rights, civil rights, and racial and social justice.
In an effort to strengthen our community beyond legal services, our New York lawyers and professionals also support prominent civic organizations in the city, such as the United Way, Read Ahead, and the New York Women’s Foundation.
