What the Team is Known For
Wachtell is a premier independent New York firm with a stellar reputation for ground-breaking M&A, often advising on substantial international transactions with multi-jurisdictional components. The firm primarily operates as a lead global deal counsel in outbound matters and is renowned as a counsel of choice for US-listed entities in their most significant M&A transactions, occupying an elite status reserved for the most high-value work.
The transactional capabilities and experience of the firm's single New York office, alongside its track record of expertly coordinating a global cohort of high-end independent firms in international M&A, make it a top choice for complex cross-border deals. It is also particularly revered for its unsurpassed skill in running negotiations in hostile takeovers. The firm is also regularly chosen by foreign investors for large inbound M&A involving the USA. The M&A group is supported by strong securities litigators and investigations lawyers, as well as top-tier tax, antitrust, financial services regulation and employment groups.
