Rankings: New Jersey Powerhouses

  • June 27, 2014

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Reed Smith

    Drumthwacket, the columned mansion that serves as the official residence for the governor of New Jersey, is not situated in Trenton, the state capital. In fact, Drumthwacket is in Princeton, proof positive that the placid college town is also a hub for the state's legal community — a body that would be incomplete without Reed Smith LLP's outpost there.

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Morgan Lewis & Bockius

    Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP established a two-attorney shop in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1992 because of the state's now-relaxed bona fide office rule, but a push to grow that location several years later boosted the international firm's work in the pharmaceutical industry and helped multiply its emerging-business clients, making it a New Jersey Powerhouse.

    New Jersey Powerhouse: McCarter & English

    It would be tough to navigate Newark without McCarter. That is, the McCarter Highway, the stretch of Route 21 that carries commuters into New Jersey's most populous city. And it's arguably just as difficult to navigate Newark's legal landscape without McCarter & English LLP, the state's oldest law firm, which plays as integral a role to New Jersey commerce as the road that shares its namesake.

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Goldberg Segalla LLP

    When Goldberg Segalla LLP's Princeton office opened its doors in 2006 under the leadership of partner David S. Osterman — staffed only by him and his paralegal — firmwide managing partner Richard J. Cohen said he knew Osterman was a perfect person around whom to build a New Jersey presence.

  • June 23, 2014

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Gibbons

    Much has changed in New Jersey since the birth of Newark-based Gibbons PC in 1926, but the firm sees founder Andrew Crummy's legacy in its present status as a regional powerhouse at the center of trailblazing civil rights litigation, commercial development deals and public-private projects that involve billions of dollars.

  • June 20, 2014

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Duane Morris

    A fixture in Philadelphia since 1904, Duane Morris LLP began expanding into New Jersey in the mid-1990s, which has resulted in the firm sporting two thriving offices, a host of clients across the economic landscape and a wealth of practice areas and expertise backed by a strong litigation component.

  • June 19, 2014

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Drinker Biddle & Reath

    As Princeton University has embarked on a series of massive expansion projects in recent years, including its $325 million arts campus and transit center, it has looked to attorneys in Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP's New Jersey offices for their expertise in zoning, planning and fending off unexpected legal challenges.

  • June 18, 2014

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Cole Schotz

    A single strand doesn't look like much, but when it comes to strength under pressure, silk is virtually peerless. It's fitting, then, that silk is tightly woven into the history of Cole Schotz Meisel Forman & Leonard PA, which began more than 80 years ago as an unassuming labor-focused firm in the New Jersey town casually known as "Silk City" and has since grown into one of the state's largest, most formidable law firms.

  • June 17, 2014

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Ballard Spahr

    Ballard Spahr LLP's Cherry Hill team has a smaller number of boots on the ground when compared to other national law firms with a strong New Jersey presence, but its entrepreneurial spirit has helped it establish top-flight labor and employment, real estate, product liability and litigation practices, and, having recently brought in one of the state's top legal minds, it appears poised to keep thriving.

  • June 16, 2014

    New Jersey Powerhouse: Archer & Greiner

    Camden, New Jersey, seems like an unusual birthplace for one of the state's premier corporate law firms, but it was an even more unusual choice in September 1928, when a trio of jurists founded Archer & Greiner PC with the lofty goal of competing with more experienced and better established firms from Philadelphia, a city that just a few years earlier could only be accessed by ferry.

    NJ Powerhouse Firms Win Big In Shrinking Legal Market

    A contracting legal market has meant tough times in the Garden State, but the 11 firms on Law360's New Jersey Powerhouse list held steady by capitalizing on the state's traditional industries and harnessing new opportunities in areas of health care and real estate, plus scoring high-profile wins in mass tort cases and the state's gay marriage struggle.

  • June 10, 2013

  • June 07, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Willkie Farr

    Over the past year, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP has helped Tyco International Ltd. escape brutal punishment for bribing government officials abroad, and on the flip side, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act scandal surrounding Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has laid bare the potential consequences of not heeding the firm's advice.

  • June 06, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Venable LLP

    Venable LLP recently won stunning reversals for clients who had seemingly lost battles against bribery charges under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including in the landmark Lindsey Manufacturing Co. case, backing up its first-class compliance and investigations work and earning the firm a spot among Law360's FCPA Powerhouses.

  • June 05, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Reed Smith

    Building up its Foreign Corrupt Practices Act work over the past decade with a collaborative structure and a growing local focus that has yielded major triumphs, Reed Smith LLP has quickly emerged as a leader in the field and appears poised to maintain that status for years to come.

  • June 04, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Kirkland & Ellis

    Kirkland & Ellis LLP's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act practice, which spans six continents, is among the most formidable in the entire world — but since the firm cautiously avoids FCPA cases that involve high price tags, its work often flies under the radar.

  • June 03, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Gibson Dunn

    The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act team at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP has developed a reputation for being the experts whom corporations call when they're dissatisfied with their initial counsel, landing the firm clients like Allianz SE and Allied Defense Group.

  • May 31, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Debevoise

    FCPA Powerhouse: Davis Polk

    Nearly four decades of handling pay-to-play investigations and other foreign bribery matters and a deep partner bench helped Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP secure favorable Foreign Corrupt Practices Act settlements for major financial institutions and other conglomerates in 2012, the latest in a string of successful anti-bribery representations spanning three decades.

  • May 29, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Crowell & Moring

    With Foreign Corrupt Practices Act experience tracing back to the firm's founding in the late 1970s, Crowell & Moring LLP has continued to make its mark in the arena, recently guiding Ralph Lauren Corp. and a Lindsey Manufacturing Co. executive to successful outcomes in FCPA cases.

  • May 28, 2013

    FCPA Powerhouse: Cahill Gordon & Reindel

    Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP's heavy roster of past and current Foreign Corrupt Practices Act clients — including Diageo PLC, Pride International Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. — has made it the envy of the legal industry, but the firm's strategy for attracting corporate audit committees is really quite simple: recruit top legal talent and keep client relations personal.
