Firm Summary
Crowell & Moring
One of the younger Biglaw firms on the block, Crowell & Moring was formed in 1979 when its founder took more than 50 attorneys with him after Jones Day tried to oust him. Today, the firm has more than 550 lawyers in 12 offices around the world. Two-thirds of those lawyers are litigators, and the firm is world-renowned for representing Fortune 500 companies in high-stakes disputes and government-facing matters. The balance of the firm’s attorneys work on a wide range of transactional, regulatory, and investigations matters. Crowell & Moring has a reputation for a light-hearted sense of humor—with a famou rubber duck mascot to prove it.
