Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz in New York has a strong client roster that includes some of the largest US and international corporations, with a key example being the firm’s work for Amazon in a derivative suit alleging fiduciary breaches in connection with alleged antitrust violations. William Savitt, who is co-chair of the litigation practice and is focused predominantly on M&A and corporate governance disputes, as well as securities cases, led that case along with key partner Anitha Reddy. Savitt co-leads the practice with Jonathan Moses, who is known for his expertise in complex commercial, securities and antitrust litigation. Notably, the scope of the practice’s work is international, as shown by the work of Carrie Reilly and Cynthia Fernandez-Lumermann for Arcnonic Group in a case relating to the fire at Grenfell Tower in London.
