Cleary Gottlieb Steen and; Hamilton LLP is a leading international law firm, with 12 closely integrated offices located in major financial centers around the world. For more than 60 years, the firm has been preeminent in shaping the globalization of the legal profession. Our worldwide practice has a proven track record for innovation and providing work of the highest quality to meet the domestic and international needs of our clients. In recognition of the firm's strong global practice, its effectiveness in dealing with the different business cultures of the countries in which it operates, and its success in multiple jurisdictions, Cleary Gottlieb received Chambers and; Partners inaugural International Law Firm of the Year award. To see a list of our other recent Selected Honors, click here. Organized and operated as a single, integrated global partnership (rather than a U.S. firm with a network of overseas offices), Cleary Gottlieb employs approximately 850 lawyers from more than 50 countries and diverse backgrounds who are admitted to practice in various jurisdictions around the world. Since the opening of our first European office in 1949, our legal staff has included European lawyers, most of whom have received a part of their academic legal training in the United States and many of whom have completed traineeships in one of the firm's U.S. offices. The firm was among the first international law firms to hire and promote non-U.S. lawyers as equal partners around the world. Our clients include multinational corporations and international financial institutions and sovereign governments and their agencies, as well as domestic corporations and financial institutions in the countries where our offices are located. Although each of our 12 offices has its own practice, our one firm approach to practice offers clients in any office the ability to access the full resources of all of our offices and lawyers worldwide to the extent their matters so require.
