With 20 partners in New York who do some antitrust work, and a financial services practice with few peers, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP is well placed to benefit from any increased antitrust enforcement under new administrations at the US antitrust agencies, as well as the private litigation boom sparked by the financial crisis. Just four partners focus more or less exclusively on antitrust (especially litigation), but their ability to call on partner-level colleagues, and up to 40 associates, is one of the things the firm believes marks it out from its competitors.
